One thing that gets me about the human race is that they will listen to whom they think is right and never get the full/other side of the story. But it sucks when the people who are spreading the rumors more and more are actually lying or really stretching what really happened/was told to them. Since there seems to be a lot of people who only want to hear it from one side of this story…or never came and asked for more info on our behalf… I am going to finally voice out for myself.
Many of you know Jake Rich from numerous shows….until now did you ever have a problem with him???? NO!!! I bet you all had a few drinks and have bull shitted with him at countless shows. He was one of the main guys behind Gore Galore for the almost the past 4 years. He and his twin brother were the ones you would see out late into the nights, talking gore and doing random business talks for the company. Jake held many titles while at GG, which includes lead sculptor, lead painter, shop boss, art director, production coordinator, and he was originally hired on to increase efficiency and product turnover time_______ So now you can ask yourself why the stuff at Dream Scape Studios look so much like what GG use to have! We did not recast GG giant heads. Jake was the one who sculpted most of the items during the past 3 years….to name a few the pumpkin, the witch, swamp hag, Caustic the clown, Pierce Sr., the giant goat head, and he also helped design the Death Knight costume and multiple hand weapons.
If you ask me, credit should be given where it is due. His style is his own…and so is Kevin’s. But don’t start spreading lies about how he stole this and stole that…..when he was the one who created it to begin with. And I haven’t ever seen an artist changing their style because their ex-boss told them to. Jake has moved on and has taken his talent and style someplace else where they can actually make a difference and are valued.
I am pretty sure a lot of people know about how Jake and Ben got fired/ or how they walked out of GG (which isn’t true!!!) I have heard so many stories from people that it is really impressive to know that one person can make this many lies and still think they won’t get caught. Yes the boys were fired, but only because Kevin couldn’t run his shop correctly. Without good communication in a business, that business will fall and fail. Aren’t owners supposed to deal with problems inside their company… or you could just ignore/run away from the situation or put your trust in the wrong people and decide to get rid of the ones who really counted.
There does happen to be some people who are in the industry to help others grow, not in a vengeful deceitful way. But to show the community and others the amazing skill and talent that people have. To promote the love of what they do and to help EACH OTHER grow into better sculptors, welders, painters and technicians.
As I am sure many of you will tell me I am wrong…. I just can’t wait for people to figure out all the lies spread by those who only know half the story. Karma will be sweet..... and from the taste I got this past weekend at TransWorld, I might enjoy it more than chocolate!!!!
