About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
Musician since the age of 7, metal head soon after, degee in classical piano with a minor in percussion and composer. About 12 years ago I started sculpting as a hoobby, got my first job as a moldmaker and apprentice sculpter at Appollo-Juno, Inc, in upstate New York making dolls and preschool toys. After 5 years of that, on to McFarlane where I became Sculpting Supervisor within 2 years of being hired on full-time. After a little over 6 years working for Todd I felt it was time to take the show on the road! I took a brief (black) sabbatical in the realms of metal and dived back into the toy world full throttle in October '05. My client list includes NECA, SOTA, Diamond Select Toys, DC Direct, to name a few. Now I immerse my self in all my favorite properties such as Marvel comics, Batman, movie properties in general and all the grotesqueries I grew up obssesed with. With a dark cabal of evil minions I created Jean St. Jean Studios to handle large multi-figure projects, such as Diamond Selects Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis action figure series. And this is just the begining...
