Another dealer that I’ve met years ago was Barry Crawford, aka Clayguy! Barry creates some incredible pieces of art….little figures from the movies we love out of clay, really capturing the essence of these demented characters. They almost look like they would be in a Tim Burton animated film. I have picked up a few of his pieces for my son over the years. The great thing about Barry is that he doesn’t just do what might be the obvious choices for his subjects, but does some pretty obscure characters as well. Just by browsing over his table, you’ll see Victor Crowley from Hatchet, Corbis from The Devil’s Rain, Meg Halsey from Re-Animator, and so many more. Granted, most of the horror/cult fans coming by his table recognize them right away. It also helps that Barry is a super nice guy and we’re always happy to see him setting up next to us.

Which was the case for the last couple of years at Cinema Wasteland. But this year, he has started something that is going to hurt my pocketbook. Not only has he recently added Christopher Lee’s creature from Hammer’s Curse of Frankenstein to his ongoing list of min-monsters, but that is only the beginning. His plan is to do a Cushing’s Baron Frankenstein next, and then follow that up with the creatures from each of the rest of the Hammer Frankenstein films! I am really looking forward to see how these turn out and am probably going to have to pick all of these up. Once he is done, they will be one incredible set. Below are some shots of the Curse of Frankenstein creature.

You can find Barry at a ton of conventions throughout the year, or you can always hit him up through his website HERE.
