  On the occassion of my first day off from Curious George 2 I thought Id post a little design I did for the film. I didnt get to do any of the lead characters as they were all done before I got on the film.  This guy is one sort of a secondary type, not quite an extra or anything. 
  The film was a good experience for me. Ive only ever really animated, some of what I did at Laika involved design but not to this extent. This film was kinda like designing with training wheels on. Ive never been impressed with my own drawing ability, so this was a little scary but its not like I had to invent the shape language or anything. Like  I said, I just had to follow what Shane and Shannon so eloquently set up. I guess it was really more of a matter of living up to what they did, and also somehow getting everything past our creative executive. Not an easy challenge... can someone tell me why people with business degrees insist they know how to make films? I dont get it--
  So whats next? Who knows, hopefully something involving animation for a change!

P.S If anyone cares Ive finally started updating my portfolio and reel blog. Click HERE to check it out, its still being updated but itll give you a little taste of things!
