The Young Minotaur's Book

Totoro Forest Project

Here Is my contribution to the Totoro Forest Project.

"Totoro Forest Project is an international charity effort to preserve Sayama Forest, also known as Totoro Forest. This endangered sanctuary on the outskirts of Tokyo is where director Hayao Miyazaki got the inspiration for his much loved character “Totoro.” Over 200 top international artists from animation, illustration, and comics are donating artwork especially created for this cause"

Kung Fu Panda Credits

Kung Fu Panda has some 2D animation credits that echoes the opening dream sequence animated in 2D by James Baxter.
For the final credits I animated the Panda. Here is one of the keys and the final frame.

Bee Movie

This was my suggestion for the main character "Barry".

Hope to see you there.

Kung Fu Panda

Just finished working on Kung Fu Panda!
It has been an amazing experience. The characters, designed by Nico Marlet, were so much fun to animate. If you are interested you could check out the Kung Fu Panda web site. The opening scene with the panda doing some clumsy Kung Fu is mine.
Hope you enjoy.
