David Kracov was born in Boston, MA in 1968. After winning first place in two categories of an art competition at the age of 12, David was one of the youngest artists in the world to have his paintings displayed in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
David worked with Disney Animation, Don Bluth Animation, Rich Animation, as well as several other studios, working on such features as The Lion King, Aladdin, Troll in Central Park, The Pebble and the Penguin, Thumbelina, and The Swan Princess. During this time, David also worked for several Special Effects studios, creating visual effects for many feature films.
During his time as an animator, David began to experiment with different types of clay, and started sculpting the characters from those films he animated. Having no formal training, David quickly discovered that he had a passion for sculpting.

David was commissioned to create a limited edition chess set for the Warner Bros. Studio Stores. The chess set was titled "Looney Trails" and was produced in a limited edition of just 50 chess sets. Each chess piece was hand-sculpted by David using a special formulation of polymer clay created for him. The 50 chess sets required almost eight months to complete. All 50 sets were sold out within two days of their release.
Not long after that David was contacted by Disney Studios to create sculptures of individual characters as well as chess sets for their stores, galleries, theme parks and catalog.

Today David Kracov is the exclusive licensed sculptor of all Warner Bros. Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera, and Tim Burton's Corpse Bride characters, as well as creating limited edition sculptures for the Disney Studios. David's sculptures are included in the collections of several of Hollywood's elite entertainment names and organizations.
