Central Florida Effects

Mezco toyz invited 60 known artists and designers to each create a custom Mez-itz figure for a Mez-itz art show 2009 at the San Diego Comic Con.

It’s a real honor to be asked to participate in this show. I decided to create Hellvis which is based off of a custom Halloween costume I had made (it’s my alter ego)Thank you, thank you very much.

7/11/2007: Barry Anderson Interview

Ripley's Visual FX Lab

Barry at Work

Greetings Mez-Ites! Today Mezco Toyz takes some time to interview artist Barry Anderson from Ripley’s. Ripley’s Believe It Or Not headquarters is located in Florida and Barry’s workshop looks like a cross between House Of Wax (with Vincent Price) and a standard issue Mad Scientist Lab. I am filled with envy.

So what do you do at Ripley’s?
I am the Director of Ripley’s Entertainments Art Dept. I am the lead artist and manager with a small but very talented staff of six artists. I have been with the Ripley Company for almost thirteen years. We create museum figures for all of our Ripley’s attractions around the world and we make many other artistic creations for our company’s other attractions such as our mini golf and haunted attractions and Louis Tussauds wax museums.
