My job: Set Painter/ Scenic Artist/ Gang Boss
Production Designer: David Wasco
Lead Painter: Laurel Pickering

Kill Bill was originally supposed to be one film.  But then it went something like 9 months over schedule, and legend has it there was about 24 hours of film.  So, Kill Bill 2 was not another production, it was just a solution to a problem.  With a very happy ending!  As far as two successful movies.  Yes, there are stories to tell.  It was a lot of fun.

 I am super bummed that I didn’t get better pictures, and pictures of more work.  While production was in Japan, fellow painter Jen Bolitho and I spent months in Culver City hand-painting fake props for Viveca A. Fox to smash up in her fight scene – things like display plates and Tiffany Lamps, meticulously painted in historical detail.  And then, watching the film, those scenes go by so fast with the scenery instantly getting obliterated.  Oh, well.  It was still a great job to work on.
