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.
