Welcome, Time Traveler 

I wish I could say your courage and sacrifice would be rewarded, but the treasure you seek was never in this place. The only thing you will take from this tomb is the truth, and the destiny it will shackle to you.

"WE HAVE A 4 INCH HIGH PRODUCT, AND WE WANT YOU TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT'S 30 FEET TALL."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on box card and/or packaging art for Antron, "the Six-limbed invader from the faraway Galaxy of Thoraxid, part of "The Interchangeable World of the Micronauts" toyline by Mego, c. 1979. Artwork/creature design by the late, great Ken Kelly (1946-2022).

Resolution at 927x1002 & 633x964.

INNERSPACE ONLINE: "When a toy company approaches you to do a painting, like LJN, Mattel, or in this case Mego, do they just straight up commission a painting from you and then purchase it?"

KEN KELLY: "No, they don't purchase the painting. They purchase the rights, that's negotiated even before you lift a paint brush or a pencil, what it's going to be and you make the best possible deal you can. Like LJN, they owned everything they got. With Mego…I got a call from a guy named John McNet, who was I guess the marketing director at the time. They were preparing to launch this new project, and he had seen some of my work, liked it, and wanted me to- the way he stated it was -- "We have a 4 inch high product, and we want you to make it look like it's 30 feet tall." And that was basically my assignment. To make this 4-inch piece of plastic look like it's a living breathing menace. And I said, that's cool. I can do that."

ISO: "So about what year was this? You mentioned before that you did 2 separate sets of paintings for them…"

KK: "I know that the Hornetroid and the Antron were among the first. The Antron…it was the first. It was kind of a gamble on what they wanted to do, and so I did Antron and brought in and they said "Bingo.""
