Ep. 249 Toys on Tap w/ Sebastián Gómez: From Chile to the Toy Shelf: a Journey in 3D Art and Nostalgia
Sunday, 9 November, 2025
We sit down with 3D artist and toy designer Sebastian to explore his incredible journey from Chile to the U.S., where he arrived without knowing a word of English and found his voice through art and toys. From sketching Thundercats and TMNT to sculpting for Disney and landing a licensing deal with Mondo, Sebastian shares how a childhood love for collecting became a full-fledged creative career. We dive into his work in animation, digital sculpting, and custom toy design for his son, all while balancing life in Ohio and a thriving artistic passion. It’s a story of resilience, nostalgia, and pure creative drive.On Instagram: @sebastiangomeztoysThis Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!
