My talk BE THE ARTIST: Cultivating your Artistic Identity is scheduled for 4:30pm on Saturday, November 19th in the main screening room at this year’s CTN ANIMATION EXPO in Burbank, California. The talk will center on what it means to be an independent artist and will both be philosophical and practical. It promises to be an informative and hopefully, inspirational hour for everyone.
Hope to see you there!

Here’s a short interview I did with ILLUSTRATION.ORG during last November’s CTN Expo. It reaffirmed two things for me: 1.) My fat bulbous head needs it’s own zip code and, 2) I really mimic a Wibble Wobble really well. (watch that head shake!)
Listen to me talk about magic potions and advising everyone to act like kids. (I mean it figuratively of course but I you want to scream for mommy, go right ahead)
Many thanks to Santosh Oommen and the gang at illustration (dot) org for the opportunity.
The first ever, animation-centric CTN EXPO is happening this weekend starting Friday November 20 until Sunday, November 22. Some of my esteemed colleagues and friends (especially from Dreamworks) from the world of animation and illustration will be there exhibiting including:

There will also be a whole line-up of real interesting panels including ones from Dreamworks discussing the segue between 2D and 3D careers to Pixar touching on the art color scripting features and their process of storytelling. So if you’re in the Los Angeles area, it’s an opportunity to see some great art and get some enrichment. For all of you aspiring to make animation a career, it’s your chance to interact with some of the most talented and experienced in the business.
