Ehsan has an extensive traditional art background in figurative drawing, clay sculpting, and oil painting and specialized in surreal figurative art. He has always loved movies and filmmaking and, growing up in the 80s, it was the behind-the-scenes insights into SFX movies like Alien, E.T., Star Wars, The Thing, and The Terminator that inspired him to become a monster maker.

  • When attempting to recreate the spirits from A Christmas Carol, I wanted to dive back into the original text in Dickens' novella. Not only did Ehsan share my passion for finding a new direction for the Past, Present, and Future, but he brought a completely fresh vision that brings these characters to life beyond what I thought possible. He possesses a unique talent for understanding what you mean, not what you say, and he takes direction with enthusiasm. Ehsan is an inspiring talent in our industry.
