Chet Zar is a multi-disciplined artist who's worked professionally in Hollywood since the late 80s. He's worked for Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios on movies like Men In Black II and the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes movie, as well as a stint at Mike Elizalde's Spectral Motion on the Hellboy and X-MEN series of films. Lots more stuff too. Anyone remember Darkman or Warriors of Virtue? Yeah, he worked on those too.

He currently makes a living doing original fine art illustrations and has a new kickstarter documentary about his life and work called I LIKE TO PAINT MONSTERS.

We talk about that and more in this wide-ranging chat.
