ABOUT THE ARTIST

The Living Illusions line of wall sculptures was originally conceived and crafted by Special Makeup Effects Artist and Toy Inventor Robert J. Marino in the fall of 1993. Upon their release, these unique pieces quickly captured the imagination of the public, leading to the production and sale of over 2 million sculptures between 1994 and 1999. Retailers like Spencer Gifts, Hot Topic, Spirit, and numerous Halloween shops and haunted houses around the globe showcased these creations.

Now, over 30 years later, Robert and his company, Octopus Creations Inc., are excited to re-release some of these classic originals alongside a few new designs. These limited editions will be produced in small batches at various scales and will be personally painted and signed by Robert himself.
