Amongst the more personal items in the studio is a piece consisting of two drawings of New York City and a U.S. flag. The drawings -- one featuring the Twin Towers and one with the Statue of Liberty -- date back to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The flag was added after 9/11.

"Living in Boston, I used to take Flight 11 out of Boston all the time. That was the best route to fly to LA," says Eastman. "On the 9th, I flew on Flight 11 out of Boston. Then September 11 happened a couple of days later."

After 9/11, he began flying a flag in front of his house.

"After about a year, the flag got too tattered, so I stuck these two pages on the flag and it's kind of a personal thing to me," he explains.
