''The sculptor's oeuvre''<br />
<br />
'''Rick Van Velsor''' is an [[industrial design|industrial designer]] who sculpted several toys and figures for [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]].<br />
<br />
His first [[Contributors|contribution]] was several figurines of the [[Main Characters|main characters]]. [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|As described by]] [[The Brothers Chaps]], he emailed them unprompted with mockups of the figurines and later flew them out to his New York studio to personally approve the designs. As he already had production contacts in China, all the Brothers had to do was say "hey, looks great" before they were made. These figures were produced under cooperation with Van Velsor's company Big Bang Industrial Evolution, Inc.<br />
<br />
During the production of [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]], the brothers again worked with Van Velsor for the game's miniature pieces (after exploring 3D printing or wooden meeples as other options). [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018|Although Van Velsor had largely stopped toy sculpting]] by the time the Brothers Chaps reached out to him to produce the game pieces, he enjoyed returning to make the new figurines.<br />
