Erwin Madrid's work on Mad2

One of the best and most inspiring artist I've seen on the blogs is Erwin Madrid. He's done work for Dreamworks for Shrek 3 as well as other projects. I truly love his style and he makes it look so damn easy. Check out his website website and his blog and enjoy his amazing talent!

Coraline Artwork

Alot has been said about the unfortunate deletion of the outstanding artists who contributed to Laika's "Coraline" in their "Art of" book. Below are some of those artists with their respective blogs featuring some of the most beautiful and inspiring artwork I've ever seen. Enjoy!

Teaser Trailer for AstroBoy

It's been a joy and an honor to be working on AstroBoy with an amazing crew. AstroBoy is production designed by Sam Michlap and Art Director Jake Rowell, and our Character Designer is Luis Grane. Felix Ip is overseeing the production end and he's great. After viewing some finished scenes in the movie, I have to say I'm pretty excited. It's due out in 2009 and I can't wait to see it all done.

Damn, these Guys are Good ...

Saga of Seven

Here are my first attempts at matte painting. I was watching Peter Jackson's King Kong the other night and was inspired to create my own clip. Very crude, but alot of fun. The giant rocks in the painting were all from one image. I truly admire and respect all those damn great matte painters who make it look so easy.

Tinkerbell

Wow, it took awhile but Tinkerbell is finally out on video. I first worked on Tinkerbell about 3 years ago. It was to say the least quite an adventure. There were story issues, the change from 2D to 3D, an ever changing schedule with harrowing deadlines, and many more things which made the completion of the project a challenging one, but through it all, it was amazing and one of the best experiences I've ever had. I had the chance to work with some of the most amazing designers and storyboard artists. If you have a chance to see Tink, go check it out. Here are some very quick sketches I produced for one of the sequences. Fast and furious, but fun!

Colin Stimpson's New Book

UPDATE: Yes, these are now color corrected!!!! Sorry about that Colin!

I'm so pleased to announce that my friend and uber-talented designer Colin Stimpson just completed illustrating a new book titled "How to Cook Children". Here are some images from the book. It is available through "Pickabook. Looks absolutely beautiful!!!!

Mas Colin ...
