About Weston

I started all this in 2009, and somewhat by accident, as an artist’s apprentice to sculptor, James G. Moore. He taught me bronze sculpting and the lost wax casting process, which over time has evolved into hands-on experience and knowledge of a number of traditional and technology-based methods of design and fabrication. I have had a lifelong compulsion to create in some form or other and my passion for physics, mathematics, biology, zoology, geology, history, monsters, creatures, fantasy, science fiction, multiverse theory, time travel, folklore, the supernatural, the old west, and all the great stuff that makes the world such an interesting place.

Weston is a member of IATSE Local 480, SAG ELIGIBLE, a key associate of 5 ton Monkey, and a New Mexico Qualified Film Vendor

Sure you’ve seen it before, but the Boggart is definitely one of my two favorite Fey Folk pieces I’ve done this past year. With a reputation for being the culprit behind all sorts of poltergeisty problems in homes throughout England, they
This Iron Maiden is a prop I did about a year ago for the Really Loud House series’ first season. The final product you see here is a combination of 3D modeling and 3D Printing along with a some traditional fabrication methods and mold making.
