About Me

I haven't been able to put new photos up lately since all the cool stuff I have been doing is under non-disclosure.I'm Andrew Clement, and I'm a workaholic VFX artist. When I'm not working, I'm with my beautiful, amazing wife and daughter. I love to sculpt, animate. Trying to loosen up my style and tighten up my detail. Good pencils are just the best. Gore is an occupational hazard, but it bores me. Recently became a teaching partner with Dick Smith which is a very wonderful, surreal thing. Inspired by Ron Cobb, Dick Smith, Steve Johnson, Rick Baker, Jordu Schell, Steve Wang, Rob Bottin, Carlos Huante, Arthur Rackham, Bill Stout, Iain McCaig, Berni Wrightson, Frank Frazetta, Michael Kaluta, Lee Bontecou, Andy Goldsworthy, Julie Taymor, Auguste Rodin, Antione Louis Barye, Jean-Antoine Houdon, Malvina Hoffman, Claire Wendling, Patrick Woodroffe, Brom, Farzad V., Sebastian Kruger, Arthur Suydam, Alphonse Mucha, Moebius, Lyle Conway and Jim Henson. I'm going to be posting things in here that probably won't be going on my official website, like personal projects, or in-progress stuff.Check out my company website www.creativecharacter.comMore photos in the blog. mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" src='' enableJavaScript="false" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" allowScriptAccess="never" style='display:none' AUTOSTART='True'

My Interests

VFX, sculpture, art, illustration, music, open water diving

I'd like to meet:

Inspired, dedicated artists. Please don't add me if you're a band looking for mass saturation, or you have over 10,000 friends, and your request is the last time we communicate, or you've set up a page pretending to be some historical figure. - it's a cute pastime, but I'm just too busy.

Music:

Bowie, The Jam, The Replacements, Billy Bragg, Shriekback, Sisters of Mercy, Siouxie, Pink Floyd, 70's R&B, Funk, Punk, 80's Euro-trash, and really cheezy disco

Movies:

Love movies, All of them. Love everything about the experience. DVD's are a godsend. I'm a little creepy-obsessed with behind the scenes footage. It's o.k., I've got a problem and I can admit it. :)

Television:

Can't watch much television anymore, It's gotten so wierd and stupid. I do love the nature shows.

Books:

Too busy to read much anymore.

Heroes:

Always had a soft spot for Jim Henson and Richard Branson.
