Rising Star: Sean Covernton





My good bud Brad Goodchild brought to me the attention of a young talented artist by the name of Sean Covernton. Sean worked with Brad in Vancouver and this guy's awesome. Not only does Sean do boards but he's also a great designer as well. You can also view his blog-folio. Great stuff Sean! I wish you all the best, and I know you'll go far.

Hans Bacher: Dream Worlds


This is way overdue, but if you haven't seen it yet, definitely check out Han Bacher's new book, "Dream Worlds: Production Design for Animation". It's now available in English, and it's a stunning treat!! It's filled with gorgeous work from many movies he's designed and it's filled with notes, and approaches on how he designs and compose for film. This is a must have for any budding art director or production designer, or for that matter anyone who wants to see composition done from a current master. It's available through Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
