69$ Million Thanksgiving Weekend!

Thank you so much, everyone who went out and saw Tangled last weekend.  I am very proud of the work we all did over the last year and grateful that the country seems to be embracing our efforts.  Thanks to all of you who have said such nice things about the film to me personally.  I couldnt be happier that you enjoyed it!

Tangled Trailer #2

This is the second trailer released for “Tangled” the film I’ve been animating on for the last year.   The trailer markets the film more on a boy’s adventure angle.   The film itself is pretty fantastic, go see it November 24th.

I’m off to the UK this weekend for some eating, drinking and drawing.   Plenty of sketchbook posts sure to follow.

Painting from life outside remains difficult.

Only six more days of Tangled animation!  I needed a bit of real media on my one day off this week.  Went to paint up in the hills behind the hollywood bowl.  They posed by the pool.  The weather was incredible, 68 and partly cloudy.  I, however, was rusty.  I’m not quite happy with either of these, but I havent posted in a long time.  As soon as the show finishes there will be much more.  Each was from 3 20 minute sessions, so about an hour each total.nymph2

Some good advice on entering the animation business

I dont often make posts about disney or what I’m working on but I recently went back to ringling to recruit for our talent development program and noticed a few things about reels.  Someone sent me this article today and he nails it.  its the work… not the case and cover letter that lands the job.

Its a good article about landing your first animation gig, or breaking into a studio in general.
