Update!

This November I will have a table at CTN Expo with my friend Tuna where we will be selling our books, prints and giving portfolio reviews. Please stop by and have a little chat with us :) Sign up and have breakfast with the pros, meet lots of amazing artists, attend some panels or watch Glen Keane give drawing demonstrations. Come and have fun!

I'm very happy to say that I've been accepted into the Talent Development program at Disney Feature Animation this Fall where I will be a visual development trainee!! I look forward to learning and growing as much as I can. I don't know who will be my mentor(s) yet but I am super ecstatic and can't wait to begin!

Speaking of mentors, I was fortunate enough to be mentored by Lorelay Bove through Motivarti earlier this year. My goal within the mentorship program was to build a new portfolio and to expand my knowledge on design and visual development. We worked together one on one to make the project like a class assignment where I would bring something in each week to be critiqued. I received great suggestions from Lorelay and I  used them to improve my work each week. By the end of my 8 week mentorship I had a better understanding of design and portfolio layout. What made this portfolio different from all the ones I did in the past was that I chose to do my project in a medium I used a lot as a kid so that gave my book a more personal touch. Bringing something that's YOU into your portfolio will make it stand out and not look repetitive when looking at it amongst other people's portfolios. I've had positive experiences with Motivarti through their guest lecturers and classes and I'm happy to see that they've expanded their program to mentorships as well. 

That's all the updates for now. Hope to see a few of you at CTN!

Klimt sketch studies

I visited the Gustav Klimt: The Magic of Line exhibition

this past weekend and it had such amazing displays

of his sketches. I brought along a pocket sketchbook

and a brush pen and did some mini studies of his figures.

My studies didn't capture the expressions he made with

just a few stroke of lines. Go check out the real thing!

Horse Warm-Ups 3

More warm ups from the past two weeks.

Giddy up!

Warm-Up Horses

I think I'm going to start posting some of my warm up

drawings on my blog. They will most likely be horses

since they are the most natural thing for me to draw.

They are basically walking muscle and hair extension.

Wicked (Part 4)

Here are the remaining pieces of my Wicked project that I 

forgot to upload. I explored some designs for background

characters playing with shapes and silhouettes. The B&W

key scenes are basically particular moments in each of the 

musical numbers with some in between key moments to

tell the story. I had so much fun on this project and even

though it's been nearly a year and a half since I've finished

it I still have a fondness for it every time that I look back on it.

Brave: A Friend for Merida

I'm excited to say that the Brave book that I worked on will be
coming out soon! It's spoiler-free so feel free to read through it as
many times as you want before seeing the movie.
It's available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Pokemon Battle Royale

I was asked to be a part of the Pokemon Battle Royale gallery show at Light Grey Art Lab in Minneapolis, MN. I picked Rapidash out of the 151 because I'm a horse lover and it's a pokemon I've always wanted as a kid. The gallery show opens on April 20th. If you're local to Minneapolis please check it out!

Game of Thrones Season 2

Yes!!!!!!!!! I am excited for this new season. It's going to be great.

Brainy is the New Sexy 2

Red is red,

Because I'm falling for you.

Happy Valentine's Day.
