THANK YOU LAD WEEK!




Life is a journey. Having been in the entertainment biz for over 20 yrs it feels like this is just the beginning, as if the 20yrs was just preparation for what I will be doing for the rest of my life. I'm so thankful for every opportunity I get to share the love and passion for animation & film making. I want to give special thanks to Elsa, Akira, Ale, Paulo, Mauro, Gus, Marintia and everyone else at LAD Week for their kind hospitality and friendship.

Reflection

These days I'm so busy developing projects, producing new animated properties, strategizing marketing campaigns and then some. Don't get me wrong I'm thankful for working.. but somehow missed the days when I had more time to study from the great drawing/painting masters such as Dean Cornwell, Alphonso Mucha and John Asaro. These were some studies that date back 15yrs ago when I was just a simple artist working his craft. I found this sketchbook in my garage. I think it's time to jump back in!

Our 3D short Nominated for an Oscar!!!

“We did a version and presented an animatic halfway through June of 2011 … then we kind of stopped working on it,” the director recalls. “Then we got together the same group [in March 2012] and hashed new ideas—they kind of looked at me and said, ‘You got all that? When can you do a board?’ I was like, what!? I told them eight weeks … they said, how about eight days?” - Read More
