At the last Paris show at Galerie Arludik, because so much of my work on Out of Picture 1 was purely digital, I didn’t have very many original pieces of artwork in the show. I had to exhibit mainly giclee prints and just a few rough sketches. For Out of Picture 2 I made sure I had more physical artwork to show for my efforts. I thought I’d share some of the drawings that will be on display in Paris on thursday.

Last year I was invited to partake in an interview for a book called Secrets of Digital Animation. I discussed a few things such as the early creative process in pre-production, thoughts on character design, and the differences in my experiences as a designer and an art director. The book really runs the gamut of techniques, 2D as well as 3D digital animation, and the countless steps between starting and finishing a project from the perspectives of many different artists of diverse backgrounds. The book just hit store shelves a couple weeks ago. Check it out!

I am SOOOO excited to announce that next Thursday, September 3rd, Galerie Arludik is opening their exhibit for Out of Picture 2! Many of our artists will be there – myself, David Gordon, Jason Sadler, Vincent Nguyen, Peter Nguyen to name a few! – so if you happen to be in the area PLEASE stop by and say “Bon jour!” Arludik had a show for OOP 1 three years ago, and it was one of the most fun experiences in my artistic career. It felt more like a street party than an art opening, and everyone was so incredibly friendly and receptive.
