John Brown

Character / Creature Designer Sculptor

John Brown is a sculptor whose expertise in live-action special make-up effects has placed him among the top FX houses in Hollywood. Over his career, he has contributed to more than forty film and television projects, including Alien: Resurrection, Species II, George of the Jungle, Jumanji, The X-Files, Mars Attacks!, Bless the Child, Monkeybone, The Cell, Spy Kids, Scary Movie 2, and Planet of the Apes, among many others.


In addition to his film and TV work, John is an accomplished bronze figurative artist, with sculptures held in private collections throughout the United States.

  • John methodically explains how to sculpt the planes of the human male head; delivering a pragmatic set of simple to understand lessons that help ground the sculptor in the importance of learning the fundamentals of this art. It is these fundamentals that our creative team at Weta Workshop value as the underpinning of our sculpting process. Johns insistence that, all good work must be underpinned by a thorough understanding of structure and form, is the cornerstone of our creative process.
