Professional illustrator/storyboard artist/comic artist living in Los Angeles, CA. Always had an interest in drawing and film since childhood. Drew my own comics and made little animated super-8 films with my twin brother growing up in Sacramento, CA. Went to The Academy of Art/USF in San Francisco. Started working at George Lucas' visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic around 1988, right out of school. Stayed there for 13 years, doing art for feature films and commercials including Ghostbusters 2, The Mask, The Phantom Menace, Men In Black, The Mummy. Left the Bay area for greener pastures and headed for Los Angeles on that fateful day of 9-11, dragging my girlfriend with me. After becoming a freelancer, I worked on Terminator 3, Day After Tomorrow, Chronicles of Riddick, Bolden, Rush Hour 3, The Incredible Hulk. Side projects: Put together a self-published comics anthology in 2004 called "Babes In Space" Did an award winning short horror film called "The Collector" in 2000, that played at several film festivals.

Benton,
This is Bosch, we met at San Diego Comicon last year, you bought my book Table for One at my booth. It must have been great spending a little time with The Man and I cannot wait to hear his thoughts in the interview you did with him. Hope you're doing well.
Best
Benton, good to meet you at the show!

Hello Benton,
It's me,Czarmangis....
It seems to me that you seem to admire Master Toth as much as I do,Although I have never met him or even seen a photo of him in my entire life thus far at my age of 38. I would like to apologize for the 'stuff' that occured at the site but I still say that picture is poison.
I will give you a 'mulligan' now that it has been removed from the Toth Site, as it should be(surely you understand) and would like to add that I think you are a true fan...not only a fan but an artist of the School of Toth.
You are now... a student...a a student of the school of Toth.
I hope to meet you someday soon as a friend.
Czarmangis
Thanks for all the concern, but theres no need for all that! My lack of response has more to do with my
being really busy than anything else. I accept Czar's
apology and there are no hard feelings. I'll have a post
back at tothfans later if anyone still cares. Thanks again.

Very cool....but what is it with comic legends never smiling for the camera?
(Ok, probably not the most reverential thing to say, but...)
btw... about my last comment... after reading the bits about the battle of wordz in Tothspace, I realize my comments can be taken too seriously---
To toth-fans out there: Just kidding about Toth's expression in the photo- no flames, please! ;o
