You’ve mentioned being involved with movie concept art. Was there a movie you wish you’d worked on, or one that came out that had work you wish you’d been able to try?

I’m continually floored by the imagination and skill I see in movie concept art, so I don’t feel there’s much I would have been able to add to most movies I’ve seen. But one exception did come to mind, and that is the film adaptation of Stephen King’s THE MIST. Though I felt the last creature in the film was perfect, strange, and all I could hope to see, I was rather disappointed in the other monsters. I’d like to have designed them myself or worked with a master artist like Jordu Schell to come up with some truly bizarre and insane critters for the earlier sections of that horror flick.
