Artist's Comments

I was flipping through the channels a few weeks ago and came across one of my favorite childhood memories. The movie "Clash of the Titans". Some of you kids may not have seen this movie so hears a link: [link]
The movie had no CGI (!) but featured epic battles with monsters of all kind thanks to the master of stop motion animation Ray Harryhausen. I wanted to do a scene from the movie/greek myth where Perseus displays the head of Medussa to turn the sea monster to stone, saving Andromeda. This was my first personal piece in a while and I had a great time working on it. Go see "Clash of the Titans"...it may be kinda cheesy compared to modern cinema but it was way epic back in the day!

Love that move and I love this piece. Well done dude. As big a fan as I am of Harryhausen it's strange that I still don't have Clash Of The Titans on DVD. I have most of what has been released here in Australia though.

Also I watched Dragonslayer for the first time the other day. That had some of the best and most realistic stop motion animation I have ever seen. ILM would have had Harryhausen in mind when it was being made.

I loved that movie, non-stop monsters, but the kraken went down to easy.
and wat about the giant scorpions that were born from the medusas blood (a little overboard)!

is nothing but a sequel,
