Disney Design Group

Just signed on as a freelance character artist with the Disney Design Group. This has been a dream/goal of mine for a while. I love the theme parks and the classic characters. Looking forward to creating cool stuff for fellow Disney fans!

Happy Halloween!

Marathon Mickey

Get fit with Figment!

The 8th Dwarf.

Don't be a Goof!

Here's a sketch I did for a Disney friend. (It's a long story. Haha.)

Tomorrowland Transit Authority

TTA

Here's a sneak peak of a new drawing I'm working on based around the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover.

Go Jays!

Don Juan!

A Gran Fiesta Tour inspired Donald! (original sketch to final version)

Happy Birthday Dreamfinder!

Here's a quick birthday design I created for Ron Schneider, the original Dreamfinder character at Epcot Center. Figment is holding his book entitled "From Dreamer to Dreamfinder". Check it out if you want a good read!

Mickey's Balloons.

Here's some final renderings of the "Mickey with balloon" sketch I did a while ago.

The Hippest Hippo at WDW!

An "It's a Small World" classic!

"Egg's a Small World..."

My 2 year old daughter is infatuated with "It's a Small World" right now. She went to WDW for the first time a few weeks ago and loved the ride! I figured I do a version of one of my favs on the attraction, the egg wielding duck billed platypus!

Up, Up, and Away!!!

A little drawing to commemorate the opening of "Storybook Circus" in the new Fantasyland. You've gotta love the Dumbo ride! A true classic attraction!

My own "Easter Egg"

While animating on an episode of "Yin Yang Yo!" I decided to add in a little tribute to traditional animation. The scene called for Yang to go to his "underwear drawer full of important magical items". I decided to add an animation disk to the stash. This wasn't in the boards but I just had to pay homage to hand drawn animation! You can see it in "Welcome to the Dark Tomorrow: Part 1" in "Yin Yang Yo!" Season 2.

Pin Design

I figured I'd turn Pete into a mock up pin design. Would you keep him or trade him? :)

Peg Leg Pete!

Ive been meaning to do a drawing of this guy for a while. I've got many fond memories of him sitting outside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at WDW. Pay him a visit at Downtown Disney. He's currently working the crowds at the "World of Disney" store.

Winnie the Pooh!

Seeing as "Winnie the Pooh" opened the same day as "Harry Potter".
I just couldn't resist doing a "mash-up"!

Donald doodle

Just watched a video of a Disney character artist drawing Donald and was inspired to draw my own version. This sketch took about 3 minutes. He's quite simple to draw if you use the proper construction. ;) I like the look of the rough drawing so I think i'll be doing a lot more of these for this blog. (and its quicker too!) I'm sorry for the lack of new posts. I've been extremely busy animating.
