Your Imagination is the Combination
Robbie Titon has our full attention with this wonderfully crafted web3 action figure. The posable possibilities appeal to a younger self. Evoking the feelings of real world play into an entirely different realm.
I love this for so many reasons. Just imagine how much fun this would be to play with – and to share with others. Well done Robbie.

RUSS COX has been a dedicated Anchorpoint member since April of 2008. He was raised by a pack of crazed Hillbillies in the back hills of Tennessee. Without much in the way of modern conveniences, like a television set, he spent his time drawing and whittling away the hours. Having been born into a family with a flare for racing, Russ often dreamed of being the next Bobby Allison or Richard Petty. After dismantling his grandfather’s lawn mower engine, and without a clue on how to get it back together, he soon realized that he did not have a automotive bone in his body. Back to the drawing board he went with his pencil and paper. After spending much of his childhood moving all over the South, his recently divorced mother headed North and settled into the quaint borough of Robesonia, Pennsylvania. While in high school, Russ developed an interest in design and a passion for music. Upon graduating high school he wanted to enter the world of design and illustration. He got his education at a local art school. During this time, he was introduced to a design instructor, Jerry King Musser, who befriended him and help guide his talents. Upon graduating, with a portfolio in his hand, he ventured into the world of design and illustration. Good ole Russ worked for various design and advertising agencies until coming to his senses. With his wife giving him a swift kick start in the rump, he opened his own studio, Smiling Otis Studio, where he presently specializes in illustration and Flash animation. When not slaving in front of a computer screen, Russ loves to spend time with his wife, two kids, and a plethora of pets. He also continues to pursue his passion for music, playing electric and standup bass in 60s surf instrumental/British Invasion band called The New Regency 5. Russ’s so-called musical career highlight was his various gigs playing the infamous CBGB’s in NYC.

Shahbaaz Shah has been a dedicated Anchorpoint member since march of 2008. we have watched his portfolio develop with great interest because we strongly believe that the next great animated blockbuster will be created by his fingertips.
Shahbaaz’s personality and humour shine through in all of his creations. Especially in his human expressions and movements. It’s obvious that he has become a real student of human nature.
Here is a brief example of a few of his animations:
“Growed up in Fort Collins, CO where I spent a large part of my youth being amazed at all things entertainment. After dabbling a bit in graphic design in high school I was inspired by the movie, Shrek, to focus my interest into computer animation. After receiving a less than desirable education and a B.A. in Media Arts and Animation from the Art Institute of Colorado I joined Animation Mentor where I graduated from in March of 2007 with a certificate in Advance Character Animation Studies.
I have worked as an animator since 2004, starting my career at National CineMedia, where I worked on cinema pre-show advertising. I had a hand in many aspects of production including character animation and motion graphics work. I worked a year at High Moon Studios in Carlsbad, CA on The Bourne Conspiracy video game to be released in June 2008. I was blessed with landing my first key frame character animator job at Blue Sky Studios as a Temp Animator on Horton Hears a Who! Which brings me to the now, where I currently work at Disney Interactive/Avalanche here in Salt Lake City, UT as a character animator.
Along for this wild ride and the source of my strength has been my wife and long time friend Monica and my sons Dominick who is now 3 and Andre who was born leap day 2008. I love all things art and entertainment and I hope to someday be a influential person in the arts and be able to share my talents and knowledge with the audience.”
