Lithophanes are translucent relief sculptures which when lit from behind create images with the thickness of the material providing the light and shadow to create a fascinating 3D effect.
Traditional lithophanes are cast in porcelain and are black & white sepia tone images. I put my own personal spin on the concept by casting them in translucent UV resistant resin and add color by airbrushing transparent colors on the back of the castings.
Each lithophane is individually cast in a translucent UV resistant resin (so it won't yellow from sunlight) and hand painted. The nightlights have an acrylic base and a reflector to focus the light to illuminate the images from behind.
'Aura' is a window hanging lithophane which requires sunlight for the effect but, she looks beautiful even on cloudy days.
'Aura' is 7¼ inches tall by 5 inches wide (approx) and has a loop at the top that's large enough for you to hang with string, ribbon, beaded chain, etc.

The Baby Dragon Skull Candle Holder makes for an excellent conversation piece. Crafted to appear to have been polished and preserved as a trophy, it tells a story of how it came to be that I will leave to your imagination. It's an excellent piece to have nearby while reading a good fantasy novel.

'In the Fall of Gravity' is an award winning stop motion animated 11 minute short film I completed in 2008. This film is available to see online for free but, this DVD will be signed to you and will also include a frame from the production of the film with hand painted elements.
Much of this film was shot on 35mm film and the frames were printed as 4"x6" photos so that I could hand paint in 2D animated elements. Painted features include birds in the background, strings and cuffs on the marionette's costume. This was done to give more of an artistic fantasy feel to the production. Those photo frames were later rephotographed to become part of the film, much like a classic hand painted 2D cell animated film.
So with your signed copy of the film, I will include one of the frames with hand painted elements. The DVD also includes a lengthy behind the scenes video about the making of the film.

I was the creature designer for the 1987 film 'Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor' and was also involved with bringing this creature (and others) to life on screen. Because this film and creature are personally important to me, I didn't cut any corners to make the casting process easier such as blending the spikes into the body or close the jaws. This kit takes more time and care to cast but, the final product is worth the effort because it's a true accurate representation of the film's main creature.

Kit includes 19 parts -
Body front & back (2)
