Prepare to take a journey into the insane mind of one of Hollywood’s most legendary and controversial Special FX artists, Steve Johnson. From sculpting Slimer from Ghostbusters while strung out on cocaine, to disguising Michael Jackson so the King of Pop could go into public, to hiding out in the jungles of Costa Rica after losing tens of millions of dollars in one day, Johnson’s journey is an unbelievable ride through the mind of a mad effect’s genius.
Join Steve on a time traveling journey through his life as he observes his insane achievements as well as his failures of epic proportions. Johnson’s uniquely creative writing turns his life story into a beautiful narrative that will keep you wanting more…thankfully, this is a multi-volume series.
