Working on a new character

Work published in Nancy Beiman's 'Animated Performance'

What a great gift for the New Year! I feel very lucky to have been able to contribute artwork and be a small part of the 2nd Edition of Animated Performance by my teacher from Sheridan, the incredible Nancy Beiman!


To the few people who might not know who Nancy is,
She has been an integral part of the 2nd Golden age of Disney Animation in the 90's and is one of the rarest talents who made it as a thriving artist being a woman in the 90s, when Animation was still dominated primarily by men.

Nancy is exceptionally sharp and nothing passes by her without catching her astute attention. If Frank and Ollie's The Illusion of Life ever missed anything, you'll find it in this book. Her analysis has helped me both as an artist as well as an effective conversationalist.

24 hour film

So five of us had worked on a 24-hour film back in October 2015, which got picked up as one of the best five out of 105 teams. So we are selected into the second round happening in LA this summer 2016! Woo! Had so much fun.. taught us anything is possible in 24 hours..The topic we had was "What if technology was introduced at the beginning of mankind"
We had lots of fun pitching ideas for story and actually getting it done. I did a dance sequence and some character design work.

For January character design challenge - Roller Derby cat
