Bringing Pop Culture to Life - One Dragon at a Time
Some films leave a lasting impression—whether through unforgettable scenes, iconic characters, or simply the joy of watching them over and over again. This collection is a tribute to those movies that have stuck with me through the years, spanning different genres, styles, and eras. They may not all fit neatly into my other collections, but they each hold a special place in my love for cinema.
From cult classics to underrated gems, these pieces are inspired by films that have left their mark in one way or another. Whether it’s a striking visual, a memorable quote, or a moment that lingers long after the credits roll, this collection is a celebration of the movies that continue to inspire me. And with so many great films out there, it’s one that will only keep growing.
"I’m From Atlanta, Y’all Are Off"
Some queens come from space. This one showed up in your high school swimming pool.
This piece dives straight into The Faculty (1998) and resurfaces with Marybeth in her final alien form masquerading as human just long enough to wreak havoc. Our dragon captures that moment in the water, when her golden locks are still glowing, but the black tendrils of her true nature are starting to unfurl beneath the surface.
Set in a shimmering resin pool with hand-painted tentacles and splashes erupting around her, this piece plays innocent while hinting at something monstrous. Her bright eyes and soft coloration are just a mask. Don’t trust them. She’s already rewritten the rules.
Inspired by: The Faculty (1998)
Medium: Hand-painted resin dragon with custom clear resin pool base, splash effects, and sculpted black tendrils
One-of-a-kind: Beauty queen, alien queen...same difference.
Stick a Pen in My Eye
Sometimes the science teacher’s the only one making any damn sense...until he isn’t.
This piece is a tribute to Mr. Furlong, The Faculty’s most memorable (and ultimately doomed) biology teacher. It captures the moment right before everything goes to hell, when curiosity gives way to chaos, and that thing in the tank proves it's not just for observation.
The base replicates the classroom lab setting: tiled floors, lab tables, and a hand-poured resin tank housing the alien parasite. Our dragonized Furlong comes dressed in his lab coat, complete with a bloody face, and yes, a pen jammed through the eye. Because of course that’s how this ends.
Inspired by: The Faculty (1998)
Medium: Hand-painted resin dragon with mixed media base, glassware, and custom resin alien tank
One-of-a-kind: Teacher. Victim. Eyewitness.
You Remind Me of the Babe
Nothing’s ever really what it seems when you’re caught in a dream ruled by the Goblin King.
This one-of-a-kind piece captures a soft, surreal moment straight from Labyrinth. Jareth cradling baby Toby within a custom-built snowglobe, frozen in time and glitter. The base is sculpted to echo the film’s crumbling staircase illusion, wrapped in faux moss and dotted with delicate florals. Inside the globe, our dragon channels Jareth’s wild hair, flowing cape, and crystal ball, plus one piercing blue eye and one darker, just like Bowie himself.
This piece isn’t just a tribute to the film, it’s a love letter to magic, memory, and the strange charm of ‘80s fantasy.
Inspired by: Labyrinth (1986)
Medium: Hand-painted resin inside a custom globe with faux moss, crystal details, and sculpted terrain
One-of-a-kind: Magic in a bubble. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Already spoken for! Each dragon is one-of-a-kind, but there’s always something new on the horizon.
