BIG CHANGE!!!
Obamas' speech is today! So they changed the Prep and Landing date to the 8th instead of the today. So if you are planning to watch it then change your calenders to the 8th @ 8:30-7:30c on ABC.

I'm part Irish and sometimes wonder who I would be if I grew up in Ireland. If I would like to go on walks in parks or perhaps drink like a fish!

I think Torch Tiger is a gang!... A Japanese gang!
"WHAT IS TORCH TIGER?"
Well, for the most part its a follow up to "Who is Rocket Johnson?" A graphic novel anthology being self-published by Walt Disney Animation Studio's Story Artists and Directors. It's an all-ages book in which every artist answers the question: "What is Torch Tiger?"
For more information on the book you can visit: http://torchtiger.blogspot.com/

I took liberty in changing the compositions a bit and exploring with different color schemes. I highly recommend studying from Sergio Leone's films because of his fearless compositions.

The first thing announced that I've worked on! Finally!
It's coming out this Christmas on abc. 'Prep and landing' is a Disney Animation Studio short directed by Stevie Wermers and Kevin Deters and Art Directed by Andy Harkness... also featuring the brilliant multi departmental PA Steph Gortz. It's funny, warm hearted and totally original; was a joy to work on this short and look forward to watching it.

Thanks

I remember when I decided that I would pursue an art career. Starting out I didn't know
where I would end up but I knew that no matter what happened I would work hard and hope for the best. I didn't think I would be staying up night after night working to get that sketch just right, or sitting for a couple of hours thinking of how to start a painting. I don't know how I even got this far. It is the most challenging thing in my life and it hasn't gotten easier just harder. I fail all the time and just want to give up almost every week I think. But you know what, because of all that it has been the most exciting and exhilarating experience of my life. I feel a lot of you artist are going through this too.
I know I will never get that sketch just right, because it is never meant to be just right; at least as long as I am alive.

I don't know. Thought I would try something more epic and real. Pretty stupid but I HAD fun. Maybe I'll do another tonight before I sleep.

I just got through my first week and now heading into my next week at the studio where I have the great pleasure to be studying one on one with Bill Perkins and Andy Harkness. I don't know what to expect but I am just happy to be there with such great talent. I will continue posting so please come back to visit soon.
