Frozen

Man..... time flies! I guess I haven't really updated this blog in a while. The reason I haven't posted is because I have been slaving away at the studio on Frozen! We had a crew screening yesterday and it is really exciting to see this film coming together the way it is. As you may already know, Frozen is a musical and "the story follows a young girl named Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell) as she sets off on a journey to find her sister Elsa (Idina Menzel), who has trapped the kingdom in an endless winter." It is really refreshing to see such incredible broadway talent like Idina putting such a solid vocal performance into these characters! Look for the trailer soon!

You can find some more info about Frozen and even a bit about Big Hero Six in this LA Times article.

During my brief and spontaneous travels back to Boston, I drew on the plane and in the airport a bit. Here are a few of them. I guess these are my last few drawings of 2012. Happy New Year everybody!

Here is another quick painting that I did in the figure studio during lunch. It feels good to get back into painting for the sake of pure satisfaction with no strings attached. This is all palette knife for the most part.

Felt like trying a new style of painting in photoshop, so I did this polygon lasso tool painting. Pretty fun style to mess around with.

After Sunny's awesome, I felt like I needed to get back into painting a bit. I stopped by the figure studio at lunch and did a quick acrylic portrait. Today's session flowed a lot smoother than

I guess it has been a while since my last post. The past few months have been amazing. I have had the honor to be a part of the Disney Animation talent development program, and it has been such an incredible experience so far.

  

Yesterday we had a plein-air painting class with one of Disney's master background painters, Sunny Apinchapong. He did a quick oil painting from life, and it was really fun to watch him work.

With the release of the new panorama feature in iOS6, I did quite a bit of iphone-tography last week and during my trip to NYC a few days ago. Here are a few of the photos I took.

 Here is a little bit of iPhone-tography that I took while I was in San Francisco. Enjoy!

It has been forever since I have posted, because I have been a bit busy at Sony, traveling in San Francisco and trying to find an apartment in Burbank now that I am home in Boston for a bit. I threw together a few figures that I did at Sony. Here is the first wave... Hopefully I will get to the next ones soon and post them.
