Elsa Lanchester as The Bride of Frankenstein Sculpted by Daniel Horne, this exquisite bust of Elsa Lanchester as The Bride was the “blank canvas” from which each artist crafted his or her art piece. The final display demonstrates the wizardry of these amazing artists.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital “No child should die in the dawn of life.” -- Danny Thomas, Founder Founded in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas and named after St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital strives to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric diseases through research and treatment. It’s core philosophy is that no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay. Since St. Jude first opened 53 years ago, treatments invented at the institute’s research department have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% today. St. Jude’s goal is 100% survival. The budgeted daily operating cost of St. Jude is $2 million. Approximately 75% of the budgeted costs of St. Jude are covered by public contributions.** Every dollar matters! ** Data from stjude.org.


The “It’s Alive” Project The “It’s Alive” Project came to life in Rob and Misty Cametti’s kitchen and garage in 2009. Having been inspired and influenced by the “Cows on Parade” project in Chicago, IL and the Vader Project from Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles, CA, Rob wanted to do something fun and imaginative to contribute to a worthy charitable cause. “It’s Alive” is the result when a community of artists, professionals, monster makers, hobbyists and enthusiasts come together. What began as a labor of love has sprouted into a movement of collaboration, good-will, magnanimity and altruism. It is what happens when purity of intention meets inspired artistry. While the first round of It’s Alive featured the re-imagined Frankenstein Monster, this second round of the project celebrates Elsa Lanchester as The Bride of Frankenstein. This collection showcases 89 stunning art pieces—80 lifesize busts and 9 full-size statues—each created by a different artist from the entertainment, special effects, and monster making industries, from all across the United States. The imagination and creativity of the artists are only surpassed by their generosity in donating their time, money and other resources while seeking nothing in return. Blacksparrow is proud and honored to host the It’s Alive Auction to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Many people worked tirelessly to make this all happen. Special thanks to Rob and Misty Cametti, of course, for starting it all and galvanizing a community of monster fans; to Seth Miranda, a.k.a. Last X Witness, for the amazing photography that he did for this catalog in a whirlwind 24-hour backbreaking all nighter; to Maureen Cametti, Richard Cametti, Kevin Moritis, Jim Furlong, Candy Irey, and JK2 Holmes for staging one of the best displays ever at Monsterpalooza; to Michael Gavin for his photography work in Orlando, FL; to Tony Ley for being a constant pillar whenever and wherever needed; and to all the incredible artists whose work will contribute to helping children.
