Happy 2013!

With everything that will be happening in 2013, it's already going to be an extraordinary year!!!  I will be picking up the pace on my personal work again so be on the look out for new artwork!  The past two years have been focused much too often on my job at DreamWorks Animation as well as a heavy amount of freelance, but I am making an effort to start going out to conventions and providing available prints and originals for sale!  That can only mean I have to start producing more work!

The first part of my year will be focused a lot of "Ze Idiot" with Christophe Lautrette and Tigobo Animation.  We will be doing a two day workshop in Angouleme, France during April (I will have a detailed post about this and Tigobo later) along with master professionals of the animation industry.  

I also want to begin showing step by step processes of some of my work.  I always get caught up in the moment of an illustration and forget to take pictures or save a jpeg along the way, but hopefully I'll keep this in mind next time!

Something about this year feels really good.  Thank you everyone for continuously dropping by my blog!  I will also be preparing some giveaways this year to show all my appreciation!  

Here is the rest of my Rise of the Guardians story beats... for all you Jack Frost fans.

Happy new year as well, I wish you all the best for 2013!

Your Jack Frost paintings are incredible, I love that one where he is laying on the ice!

Ahhhh! Too good for words!

Happy 2013 by the way!

Just found your blog after finding a post of some of your Rise of the Guardians work on tumblr...this is..frankly...awesome. Immediately began to follow you! (Not like a stalker though...)

Looking forward to more posts of your art in the future!

Thanks Taylor!

Thanks Petra. The jack laying on the ice was the first pass of his isolation moment. I liked what they done with it in the final much more.

I'm flattered, Rosie! Maybe I should start a tumblr?

WONG! Beautiful words as always! Hurry up and get yo buttocks to G-Dale.

the upper deleted comment is mine,I had a mistake :(
It's really inspiring to see your wonderful and fantastic works!
moreover, It's also interesting to find the timid differences between your pieces and film.

I wonder the kind 3d animation software DreamWorks uses. Anyway, I've watched that movie and I can say that it was a good movie.
