Congratulations to David Colman!!

I'm really late on this but I wanted to post that my bud David Colman just won an Emmy for Individual Achievement for Animation Character Design for "Class of 3000". Way to go Dave!! I've known Dave for about 8 years and he's definitely one of the hardest working, most ambitious artists I know. You totally deserve it brother!

So glad to know that my friend Gang Peng started a blog. Beautiful work!!!

TENG Inspiration

Below you'll notice 4 posts of some truly amazing work for Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove". Included in this set are the works of Paul Felix, Loic Rastout, Robh Ruppel, and Kevin Nelson respectively. These artists are some of the best in the biz!! The Groove is probably one of my favorite movies, both for story and for beautiful production design. For those who want to study great art direction and styling, check out this movie. And if you don't have it, I strongly suggest buying the Special Edition. It's packed with alot of visual development, including a great gallery filled with character designs, concepts, layouts and much more)!!

Inspiration TENG: Paul Felix

Yep, these are some mouth-dropping beauties! Love the scope and detail of these sketches. Paul is just damn good!!!
