The week before a holiday is usually pretty quiet
, so I guess this week was typical. A time to catch up and think about new projects and great things that lie ahead. I made masks and filled orders for rocket kits and spock ears. 
Mary has been painting chickens 
. Not ready for her blog yet but here is a preview:
I had the great honor of being published in the prestigious magazine for the Academy of Model Aeronautics 
.
Last Sunday we were invited by my dear friend Todd Masters to the 100th birthday celebration of the great makeup artist Dick Smith. The movie, Altered States, was screened as a tribute to Dick’s great work. I haven’t seen the film for a long time and its message is one that needs to be heard. It was appropriate. Everyone had a great time. Thank you Todd 
for the wonderful evening.
In the mail I received my order for my painting on a coffee mug from Fine Art America ! How cool is that?
It’s a great way to greet the day with Vance Gilbert who is a wonderful human being.
Friday I received this wonderful gift from Matt Sanders. Matt is the owner of
https://ghostbustersautogr.wixsite.com/website And I had a visit from him to my studio recently where I signed over 100 autographs 
. He sent me this personalized shirt. It’s a great honor to receive such a gift for my work on the original Ghostbusters movie!
What’s coming next? I’m writing a new script for my next film, “A Conversation with My Father” which will feature Steve Altman, David Allan Graf, and Robb Wolford . This is a heartwarming story about the human spirit. I am also writing a script for
a film about model aviation called “Forever Flight”.
I’m thinkin about sculpting a Laserblast mask of me from the movie. What do you think?
Would you like to see a sculpture of the creature arm that I wore in Ghostbusters?
I am planning to refit my refit. The Enterprise 1701 from the first movie”Star Trek the Motion Picture”. The model is in a state of decay and I want to bring it back with proper lighting and paint. a restoration, if you will.
Luo Dalmaso gifted me a EVA Pod from 2001: a space odyssey, my very favorite film of all time. “Lucy, I have some model building to do”
And that’s just for starters. I had better get busy.
Great times at the studio continue…
Thank you all and remember to create beautiful things and fill the world with love. 
It’s powerful and it will make a difference. In these crazy times you make a difference by staying positive!
Don’t believe it, know it.
All The Best,
Steve and Mary
