Congrats to Dave Elsey and Rick Baker - Oscar winners 2011 for The Wolfman!

More to come....

A huge congrats to Dave Elsey and Rick Baker. They have been nominated for another Oscar, this time for their work on The Wolfman.

Dave is the co-creator, storyline artist and cover artist on The Dark Detective and a great bloke to boot. He was previously nominated for his work on Star Wars: Episode III but we are hoping he will bring home the booty this time.

Rick is the model for our rendition of Professor Moriarty and a true gentleman. He has won more Oscars than I can list but I am sure he wouldn't mind one more.
