Crash received a scholarship to the Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena, graduating with a BFA in illustration in 1988. That same year he met Stan Winston - consequently establishing a working relationship that would last for 12 years. Crash's fi rst design challenge was Predator II, directed by Stephen Hopkins. He soon found himself immersed in the work that he could before only admire as a fan. Soon after, he collaborated with Tim Burton for "Edward Scissorhands." Burton was indeed a hero of Crash's, and as such, Crash reveled in the collaboration.
