2D or not 2D Poster

The first drawing

After a talk with Tony White we thought it might be fun to do the 'King Kong' thing using his character. We could have him drawing the lettering

This is my first color, at this stage nothing was working. I had to darken the background sky color because Tony's character was light yellow and needed to separate from the sky better.

I changed the marker to a stylist and the sky,

I did this doodle at a meeting a few months earlier and thought it would make a good design for the City of Seattle.

I spent quit some time with photoshop to get it to this point, it's starting to come together. Tony did the pen and ink drawing of his character now that the Space Needle is done.

After this point some type was added and moved around a bit but this is more or less it.

Folk-art Frame and painting of Prologue Dog

I made this frame to use as a design for the opening prologue sequence of ' My Peoples ' . I thought instead of just drawing and then painting a frame in Photoshop I would actually make a frame and then use it as reference for the painting, but the film was abandoned before I finished the frame. Because I never brought it into the studio I made a gift of it, and it's now in the collection of Barry Cook.

Oil Portrait, Barb

This was the first Oil Portrait I did after joining Disney in 1996. The frame was made by my brother Wolf, after a drawing I sent him, he sent me the frame in the raw wood state and I gave it the paint and gold finish.

Another Toronto Winter

This 'Toronto Winter' image started as a drawing on paper, then adding color with Photoshop. The oil paint look was achieved
using Texturizer with a custom made texture.
