Universal
Sculpture
I became a professional sculptor at the age of 19 years old when I had the great blessing of
working with the Disney Studios legend Chris Muller. Chris inspired and taught me the basics
of sculpture. Like a duck in water I learned very quickly . It all started here.

Architectural Ilustration
Architectural Facades and Hardscape, Universal Studios Japan
It is all about schedule,texture shape and form. It was my responsibility to art direct and oversee the
construction of the architectural facades and hardscape park wide. I initiated a sample program for the all the
textures and had the contractors adhere to the level of quality contracted. The Universal team of architects were
responsible for the designs based upon existing buildings. The results of a strong and talented team can be
clearly seen in these photos.

I worked with Ray on this architectural concept between 1992 to 1994. The plans were approved by the California
Coastal Commission . The design process proceeded for 2 years with all the enviromental regulations met. By the
time grading began, Raymond became suddenly ill and passed away. The family sold this pristine park like estate.
