Rick "The Flying Mad Professor" - Larger than Life

In the heart of San Diego at Comic-Con International, an audacious idea took flight: a giant rendition of a beloved cartoon character soaring above fans and patrons. The challenge was to create a lifelike representation that mirrored the character from every angle, all while ensuring timely delivery for this iconic comic book convention.

Collaborating with "Inflatabill," the GuildWorks team developed a design solution that captures the character's essence, exuding authenticity from every vantage point.
