When my Grandpa was a motorcycle messenger in the Canadian army during WWII, they took a photo of him, which I used as reference for this charcoal drawing ~70 years later @ccs_detroit . ✍🏻🇨🇦🏍️✉️

Feeling nostalgic for Detroit’s @MarcheDuNainRouge , so here is a flashback from over a decade ago, with my ol’ pal @rooster84 , in our homemade costumes.
Wish I could be there this Sunday to help keep the rascally Red Dwarf at bay! 👹👺💥⚜️

All this recent space chatter about @NASA ’s Artemis Mission and UFOs (or rather UAPs these days) 🛸 has got me reminiscing about a @Honda commercial I worked on a few years ago.
I built the moon base for Honda’s #KeepDreaming spots (2023). 🌕
Lots of old school kitbashing involved — I purposely pulled from kits of the 70s & 80s to infuse it with my favorite era of miniature making.
Swipe to the end for the full spot.
Thanks to @john.merritt.studio for the opportunity!

I’ve worked on a few #bobblehead projects over the years, the most recent being this #MLB spot from 2023. 🧢⚾️✌🏻 MAJOR thanks to @LegacyEffects for the opportunity. #OhYeah!

One of the great writers of our time #HarlanEllison assembled this #DangerousVisions anthology, published in 1967.
Fun fact: #IsaacAsimov wrote the introduction and today happens to be his birthday (which is why Jan 2nd has been named #ScienceFictionDay) 🪐🛸🚀
Last year, I made the trek to #EllisonWonderland and took some pics. Enjoy! ✌🏻
With the new season of @FalloutOnPrime upon us today, I wanted to share some behind-the-scenes pics from when I worked on the T-60 power suits with the @LegacyEffects team. ☢️👍🏻
It was an honor being featured in French magazine S.F.X — especially since us artists don’t always get the credit we deserve. 🎉
Case in point… you won’t find my name in the credits, which happens to people more than it should. 🤯
It’s happened to me a few times, and there’s not always photo evidence (especially when there are NDAs involved), so I’m grateful these pics exist!

It’s that time of year again! 🎉 I’m reminded of a miniature project I worked on in 2022 with the team at Merritt Productions, for @Dunkin ’s ‘The Holidays Are Here’ spot — (swipe all the way to see the commercial in action!)
I modified existing buildings, assembled set pieces, and glued tiny piles of packages together, for a 1:12 scale village. 🎁 🍩🎄🕎✨ Enjoy and Happy Holidays!!

This past summer, IRONHEART (starring @DominiqueThorne ) was released on @DisneyPlus , thanks to @ProximityMedia + @MarvelStudios .
Back in 2022, I had the privilege of working with the practical suits team (led by @Toi2fx ) in the @LegacyEffects model shop. 📺🖤❤️🔥 Grateful for the opportunity and ability!

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to help a fledgling filmmaker (@ SarahVattano_official) realize her vision by creating a miniature retro-tastic rocket for her senior film, Tom’s Oddity. 🚀🧑🚀✨
Sarah provided the AI concept art as inspiration and I designed this rocket from scratch in @blender.official (3D-modeling software).
I used an @ELEGOO_Official 3D resin printer and airbrush acrylics (@VallejoColors + @ArchiveXpaint ) to bring this rocket to life.
S/O and special thanks to my bud @AaronVattano for making the call to use a practical miniature!
PS. I love that #EddieJemison made a cameo as the Mission Control flight director 🌌💫☄️🪐

I was born and raised in Metro Detroit. If you told me that one day I’d be living in Los Angeles, working on a Detroit-style pizza commercial for @PizzaHut , I wouldn’t have believed it… but it’s true! 🥹
Back in December 2020, I worked with Merritt Productions to help fabricate this #DetroitStylePizza oven. I bodyshopped detail pieces and the Hut logo. 🍕
While @BuddysPizzaDet will always remain superior in my heart, it was fun to—in a way—work on a small piece of home. 🏡 #WhatUpDoe
