An old friend of mine, Mach Hillier*, has a dream. His a dream is that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men ar...er...wait, no. No. That's not it at all. Monsters. He wants to make monsters for movies. Geesh.
Anyway, here's the deal: Mach is an illustrator and designer who has recently completed his final course at the Ontario college of Art and Design, but, he's a sick bastard whose thirst for education can never be quenched. So, he plans to attend the Vancouver Film School's Makeup for Film and Television program next year. Piece o' cake, right? Wrong. Here's the heart wrencher: Mach is lazy, and refuses to make money on the side by dealing ivory, whoring himself out, or kidnapping a hotel heiress. Instead, he's trying to pay the $30,000 (!) tuition by doing custom illustrations for people at $30 a pop. The Pause logo eyeball that you see in the display picture is what he did for us. Not too shabby! Mach has a fantastic imagination when it comes to character design, and seeing his creations come to life is going to be incredible.
If you're interested in getting an illustration done by him, check out his website at iwanttomakemonsters.com.
(*His name is "Mac", not "Mach". I accidentally pushed the h button on my keyboard after writing Mac, and decided to leave it, because Mach is a much cooler name.)
