Creature Designer Crash McCreery on Craftsmanship

Post a picture of YOU AND YOUR CRAFT on Twitter or Instagram for the opportunity to win exclusive prizes each week -- including free pair of eyewear from the latest Masunaga collection, an experience, or a customized gift from one of our craftsmen.
Masunaga Optical and Dan Deutsch Optical Outlook showcase the unique and compelling tales of nine L.A.-based artists, all at the top of their craft. We talk to a painter, a sculptor, a jewelry designer, a chef, a welder, and more, to hear what craftsmanship means to them, and we go behind the scenes to learn about these craftsmen and women and their work.

As a traditional artist myself, I absolutely love this video. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. For many of us, this means a lot.

Hi Mark, miss you my friend. Showing my boy all your art! You are truly amazing! You still have the best laugh ever!

[@Daniel241992]

What a Legend.

[@gilbyfabian3698]

Such a huge inspiration to me! I've always wanted to see this master at the drawing table showing his craft live ... thanks for posting!

[@jamlym4974]

He's the only creature designer I really know about. I love what he did for the Village, Pirates and Jurassic Park.

I wish soooooo bad that an art book with his work would be published. I've been looking for one for years.

[@Brono25]

same here. He changed my world with his jurassic park concepts. theres so little of him online

[@squintygreeneyes]

his sketch books are rather personal, he flipped through them in a recent interview but he admitted to being very shy about it as they were never meant to be shown to the public. 👍🙈

Cheerful down to earth and super talented...I always get amazed by his art!

[@kznck]

I expected more creepy laughing

[@wayne6251]

What kind of pencil was he talking about, can someone help me

[@MrFulanodetal2010]

2 mm mechanical pencil with a 2b lead.

[@squintygreeneyes]

made by koh-l-nor , its a 10$ mechanical pen. which is a good price though i have not tried one. im not sure which sharpener he is using as i doubt its the cheap on that comes with the pen (but maybe). also wish i knew which lead he uses, i know its 2b but what brand, is it koh-l-nor or is he putting something else in there,.. 😔

[@amrsaed.]

He uses Stadtler graphite lead

[@MediocritesTheNormal]

In this video he's using Turquoise 2mm lead (presumably 2B), a Staedtler 780 Technico clutch pencil, and a Staedtler 502 lead pointer to sharpen it. Odd that he says he uses a Koh-I-Noor sharpener, when that's not what's shown here.
