When Steve Patino learned that I owned the Phantasm II theatrical standee, he told me he had to have it, and I agreed, shipping that massive item from Nevada to California. The sphere creator deserved the biggest sphere of all. We lost Steve far too soon in 1994, but his memory flies on.

Remembering a past friend and member of the Phantasm phamily, FX artist Steve Patino, who created the silver spheres in Phantasm II. I met Steve at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors in LA on April 9, 1989, where he was on a panel with Mark Shostrom for The Making of Phantasm II, and we kept in contact.
