Erich Labatti - "Steve Johnson is among the lists of artists that have influenced me and the work I do. I was so incredibly impressed with his design for this character back in 1988, when the film "Dead Heat" was released, that creating a tribute bust of this big zombie biker has been rolling around in my mind ever since.

I finally felt comfortable enough in my abilities to give it a shot this year. I've received a lot of positive feedback on this piece. And, it's only been available a few days. But, the highest point, so far, has been the kudos I've received from Steve Johnson himself, via FaceBook! He actually complimented me on a job well done...without any prompting from me! That meant a lot to me. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everyone's interest and enthusiasm over this piece very much; it's just extra special when the designer of the original character (and one whose work you admire so highly) gives you the "thumbs-up" on a particular piece."
