A couple of studios

Back in 1995, at the almost finished Feature Animation building in Burbank, CA (I'm the second guy on the left).

I moved to the Florida Studio in 1997, a year or two before this photo was taken. This building was finished after completion of "Mulan".

Haunted Mansion digital model

Around that same time, I also dabbled with modeling inanimate structures in Maya - such as Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, referring to some elevations published in an Imagineering book.

3D character modeling

Before the Florida studio closed ten years ago, we were being trained in 3D animation software. One of the tutorials was of this monster, that I sculpted and polypainted in Maya.

Dust-Up in the Desert

In 2009, I did the roughs and line art for a book called "Dust-Up in the Desert", about Lightning McQueen's off-road racing adventures. I believe the super-talented David Murray did the digital paintings.

Life drawings

Helicopter

A spread I illustrated in a Random House Step-into-Reading book, featuring the Dinoco helicopter.

Rockwell's pirate

A tight line drawing, based on a favorite painting by Norman Rockwell.

Student film - Matterhorn

One of my student films, from 20 years ago. I'd love to finish animating it someday; a good majority of it is still storyboards, and the sound and video quality is poor. I just wanted to make a fun tribute to my favorite thrill ride - the only one both conceived of and ridden by Walt himself, back in 1959. The Abominable Snowmonster, added in 1979, was nicknamed "Harold" by the Cast Members. 

This is sort of a "what if..." type of thing.

Caricatures in color

Here are a couple of caricatures that I managed to photocopy after having gone over them with colored pencils.

More caricatures

Yet more caricatures from the "Fantasia/2000" days in Glendale...

Bobsleddin'

This is an illustration I did for fun back in 2001, probably during or right after work on "Lilo and Stitch". The Matterhorn's always been my favorite thrill ride. I was actually doing a 3D drawing (the old red/blue glasses thing), and decided to just color it in with Prismacolor pencils. I had no clue at the time that, in about six years, I'd get the chance to draw characters for theme park merchandise, with some of the best artists and designers in the business.
