Mealtime Fun book

This was one of my first freelance jobs, back around 1995 or 1996. 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.

Signing at D23 Expo in Anaheim

Had a great time at D23 last week signing the Star Tours 30th Anniversary art for Guests, as well as the American Adventure USA map, to which I had contributed character art.

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!

Rough animation playability update

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!

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.
