Christopher N. Hitchcock

CHRISTOPHER N. HITCHCOCK (1966-2006): The second Hitchcock son to join noted father, William, in the model-making business, Christopher signed on in 2001 as a full-time collaborator in his father’s studio, contributing military experience, and skills learned in his ten years as a combat photographer in the Marine Corps. In addition to his considerable expertise as a painter, working side-by-side in intensive apprenticeship with his father, Christopher mastered many of the technical aspects of modeling and produced occasional independent pieces.
