"MetamorFX" - Art of Constantine Sekeris available for pre-order~!!

Our good friend & former instructor, Constantine Sekeris is releasing his new book "MetamorFX" on July 15th at Comic Con 2012 through Design Studio Press.

Constantine have worked on numerous creature and costume designs for films such as "Blade 2", "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman", "Fantastic Four", "Constantine", "Where the Wild Things Are?", "Hell boy 2", "The Incredible Hulk", "X-men: Last Stand", "Thor", upcoming films like "G.I.
