Great pic of me with props and models from Ghostbusters, Jumaji and Flubber for a newspaper article back in the day. #VFX #FX

I developed my own sculpture style as an artist and teacher in the 60's and 70's. This piece & likes got me hired by a college friend (from Long Beach State) at ILM in 1981 to make the Leia bikini. I then stayed at ILM for almost 30 years! Encouragement to young aspiring artists!

The Raiders idol was sent to ILM in California for safe-keeping after shooting the film’s opening. I don’t think it was intended to be in another scene, but I made a mold of it just in case. That mold found its way into a number of hands - the origin of many copies out there now.

All the numbers, when we were fitting the Princess Leia Bikini. We had to refit the bikini right before shooting because Carrie Fisher had lost so much weigh since we took these measurements. #Princessleia #NFT #NFTart #NFTauction #Starwars

ILM’s Chief Model Maker Richard Miller with a few of the many he created with Lucasfilm. Pictured here are from The Rocketeer, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mask, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Terminator 2, Yoda and Chubacca busts and Jumanji. #VFX #ILM #FX #Starwars #Jumanji

Hanging around the house with some artifacts from Raiders of the Lost Ark! #VFX #Indianajones #FX #ILM

More progress on the NFT just as beautiful as the production prop it was scanned from thanks to legendary model maker Paul Huston. #NFT #NFTart #NFTauction #Starwars #VFX

Anyone guess which film this is from? #VFX #FX #ILM #Ghostbusters

More progress on the Princess Leia Bikini NFT - looking hot!! #NFT #NFTart #NFTauction #PrincessLeia #Starwars #VFX #FX

I’m gonna wear this to the prom. I sculpted it. Why not have fun with it? #NFT #NFTauction #Starwars #PrincessLeia #VFX #FX

Hip pieces of the Princess Leia bikini, separated for the scan for the bikini NFT. Worth a closeup, with all that gorgeous detail! #NFT #NFTart #NFTauction #Starwars #VFX #FX #PrincessLeia

Two handsome devils - just posing with my work for a publicity shot for the model shop at ILM.

This is a whale I sculpted for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The animal experts said this piece was super realistic to an actual whale, which made me feel good. Of the many projects I worked on at ILM, this is my favorite. I love the shape and the feel of it. #Startrek #FX #VFX

Remember these beauties? These production cast props are part of the scan for the NFT I’ll be offering soon! Still beautiful after all these years. #NFT #NFTart #NFTauction #starwars #VFX #FX

I made this for The Rocketeer, but then I realized I could also wear it for my audition to join Daft Punk. They asked me to write ‘Get Lucky’ with them, but I turned them down. #Rocketeer #VFX #FX #daftpunk

More progress on the bikini NFT - Hollywood model maker legend Paul Huston working his magic, getting the scanned pieces fit to the model. #NFT #NFTart #NFTauction #starwars #princessleia

I made this based on a self portrait.

The scans are in and it's time to put it together for auction. Star Wars model-making legend Paul Huston is joining the effort (yes, tall guy makes the bikini look like a necklace) - NFT coming soon! #NFT #NFTart #NFTartist #NFTauction #Starwars #princessleia

Getting the pieces together for the laser scan - here's the front and back pieces of the bikini bottom, with the armlet in plastic, and some extra, unpainted hip pieces. #NFT #VFX #FX #PrincessLeia #StarWars

Anyone guess who this hand belongs to? Opened the box for the Princess Leia Bikini to package the props for the upcoming NFT - and found a couple of C3PO prop hand casts from Empire! #StarWars #NFT #VFX #FX #princessleia
