The maker

Meet Bob

Bob sculpts, molds, casts and paints every piece that leaves the studio. Clients describe working with him as a collaboration: you bring the character and the vision, he brings the craft and a lot of suggestions, and you stay in control of how it turns out.

The work runs from screen-inspired Star Wars characters, like the Ahsoka Tano headpieces worn at Celebration London, to original creatures, Big Daddy Roth-style sculpture and commercial pieces for brands like Timberland.

Materials

Silicone or latex

We choose the material for how the piece has to wear. Both are cast from the same hand sculpt and painted the same way.

SiliconeCustom-fitted, expressive and durable. Moves with the face. Best for prosthetics and close-up work.
LatexLighter for large heads and creatures that don't need to emote. Best for long wear.
