Casey Love

Although his passion for monster masks started early in life, when his parents would take him to the mall during the Halloween season, it wasn’t until he reached his 20s that Casey began making his own latex monster masks for collectors.

In 2004, he got the opportunity to work on his first creature feature, The Cave, leading to a career in FX for film and television, during which he worked for many of the industry’s leading FX artists and studios, including KNB EFX, Amalgamated Dynamics Inc., The Character Shop, Patrick Tatopoulos Designs, Steve Wang, and Rick Baker’s Cinovation Studios.

Throughout his career in FX, Casey contributed his artistry to many memorable genre films and TV series, including Resident Evil: Extinction, The Messengers, Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Cirque Du Freak, Race to Witch Mountain, Trick 'R Treat, Blood: The Last Vampire, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Walking Dead, Priest, Predators, The Thing (prequel), and Men in Black 3.

Over the last decade, Casey has focused his creative energies on producing original resin model kits, latex masks, and fine art creature displays, and has greatly enjoyed sharing his work at major trade shows and art galleries. Casey has also loaned his talents to Sideshow Collectibles. As an educator, in addition to his courses for SWSCA, Casey has offered many classes on creature design both online and at his home studio.
