Being a native of Los Angeles, I really enjoyed working on this piece - even though my specialty is Character Art. Also pictured below is the original concept sketch. From there, after a few passes and rearrangement in Photoshop, I finalized the art as a vector illustration.<br />

Back in June, I was very privileged to be invited to Disney Legend Burny Mattinson's 65th anniversary event at the Grand Floridian Hotel, along with talented friends from work (Alex Maher, Fabiola Garza Villalobos, and Lon Smart). It was a special luncheon for D23 Gold Members, and we were invited as "luminaries" to help them all honor this amazing story artist, animator, director and producer. He was hired in 1953 in Burbank, and has worked continuously as the Walt Disney Company's longest-serving Cast Member; his film credits include "Lady and the Tramp" all the way up to the latest film, "Ralph Breaks the Internet". He wrote, directed and produced one of my absolute favorites, "Mickey's Christmas Carol" in 1983, as well as "The Great Mouse Detective" in 1986. The next day, there was a special screening of 1973's "Robin Hood", on which he animated under Ollie Johnston I believe, at the AMC theater in Disney Springs. It was so cool to get to applaud as his name appeared on the opening credits, and with him in the audience.<br />

These are from a Cars book I illustrated in late 2010; it's a die-cut board book. The pink lines indicated the template of the book shape, and the text shown here is not final. The Cars franchise has always been a favorite of mine, and I'll always be grateful for the opportunities I had to work with these characters. </div>

This property is one of my favorites, and it was so much fun incorporating a new character into their world. It was a cute little story, and I love how she saves her friends from a tiger shark by instinctively burrowing into the sand. Everyone has their weaknesses, but they also have their strengths.<br />

I did the tight pencils for this Mealtime Fun book, which was a cute little round board book, packaged with a fork and spoon. It must have been around the time we were working on the "Pomp and Circumstance" segment of "Fantasia/2000", because I had been working on Donald Duck quite a bit at that time. The classic characters are always a joy.<br />

I also happened to walk by the Little Golden Books booth, and signed some of the Star Wars books for them. I wasn't expecting to see them there, so that was pretty cool!</div>

It seems my rough animation tests were not playing properly on Blogger, so I've uploaded them to YouTube and embedded the scenes; should be working again!</div>

This was one of my favorite scenes to animate on the film "Curious George" while working with the talented team at Project Firefly (now Premise Entertainment) in Orlando, shortly after the Disney Feature Animation studio had closed in Florida. The Man in the Yellow Hat, or Ted, was voiced by Will Farrell. </div>

So excited to get the opportunity to illustrate this Little Golden Book. This was really a blast! If you enjoy this one, please be sure to check out the rest in the series, by phenomenal artists like Chris Kennett. There is even a box set of the first six Episodes.</div>

I thought it would be fun to repost this little animation test from a 1993 summer internship in Hollywood. Our assignment was to show a character caught steeling cookies from a cookie jar, and "Jurassic Park" had recently been released. When everyone's tests were completed, the instructors held a literal gong show, complete with a little gong for the tests that were less-than-par. Thankfully, I survived that one!<br />
<br />
Shortly after, I brought this pencil test along as part of my reel and portfolio to Industrial Light and Magic (ILM); they had flown me up to be interviewed as they ramped up the CG animation in "Casper". It was so awesome to meet people like Spaz Williams, who had recently built and animated the groundbreaking digital T-Rex in the aforementioned "Jurassic Park"... and there I was timidly showing this little guy to them!<br />
<br />
After I then finished my second year at CalArts, on June 6, 1994, I was hired at Disney Feature Animation in Glendale. Ten years later, when the Florida studio was closing, ILM was one of the many studios that came down to look at prospective artists, and once again I showed them my work.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193745927299766738.post-2550704779081891552014-09-14T18:23:00.002-04:002014-09-14T18:23:41.608-04:00Interviewed on Pixar fan blog<div>
