Len Burge, a man from the FX world how has turned him self into the toy sculpting, a traveler who has found his path and gave it a name: IDmage Design....

Expectations: Smiles! .
Advice to new sculptors or amateurs sculptors: Stay away!! Unless you really want to, its rough to earn a dime sometimes (for me) I cant speak for anybody else. Also spend time thinking about the armature! Even when you do it gets ya in the end! And stare at anything and everything. Record it for later. Pull the reference out only when you get desperate. Also, spit works better than water!
Other: "So live that you would'nt be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip."

Material preferences: chavant and sculpey for toys and chavant and wed clay for film.
Sculpture’s size: Not so big that I have to crawl under the piece and not so small that I have to use any sort of magnification. Kinda like the 3 bears. Just right.
Influences: Stanislav Szukalski, Chris Burden and recently Tim Bruckner and the "Sculptors Corner Clan" Oh, cant forget Cam De Leon, he's great! This can go on and on. Damn! Cant forget about Greg Figel. He's gonna be pissed if he finds out! .
Companies: I worked for Stan Winston Studios as my first real job back in the late eighties early nineties. Then I shuffled about from country to country being a freelance slave sculpting rocks! (by rocks I mean anything horrible that pays) Then I found Chris Burden(or he found me) and helped him for a little while building bridges out of Meccanno. Then came Sota Toys, what can I say, their cool. Some people think that I worked with the band "Tool" but thats another Len. Poor other Len!
