A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DAVE THOMAS

I'm in my 50's, have three kids 30, 31 and 19, married to a wonderful woman (3rd wife).
I am a creative artist that also has mechanical and fabrication abilities. I have an extensive background in animatronics, props, custom themming for interior and exterior, fiberglass, steel and aluminum fabrication, murals, painting, sculpting, mold making and a wide variety of other artistic and creative arts.
The image to the right is my latest creation. I call him "CYBORG". He will be the inside structure for several future animatronic characters I am in the process of creating. The first will be a werewolf character similar to the one I created and fabricated last year and sold to a haunted themed entertainment complex and ride.
The idea behind "CYBORG" is that the customer can use him as he is as a character or put the werewolf or what ever other art exterior they purchase to fit the themming of their complex.
I still have a few months of work to "CYBORG" before he is ready to sell.
You can see other samples of my work on YOUTUBE. Go to DThomasCREATIVE.
I worked for years in the animatronics industry. From 1976 to 1984 I was the vise president head artist and art director for Creative Engineering of Orlando, Inc. after that I started Diversified Designs of Orlando, Inc that I closed down in 2000. I have since continued to design and fabricate animatronics and will soon have an ANIMTRONICS KIT for sale. I also spent a few years customizing Harley Davidson motorcycles.
