29. Andy Gaskill - The Goofy Movie

For those who haven't seen it, definitely check out the Goofy Movie! It's well done, nicely animated and has great artwork! These are early story moments conceived by the amazing Andy Gaskill. He's a prolific Art Director, Production Designer and workbook artist. I love how loose and energetic his sketches are, and even more so how he can get a feeling of story and mood into his pieces!

30. Remembrance for Kevyn Wallace

By: John Nevarez, on 8/26/2012
Blog: John Nevarez (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)

This is a post in remembrance of a good friend and awesome artist Kevyn Wallace. About a year ago, Kevyn died at 47 in a horrific car accident in Burbank, CA by a drunk driver. At the time of his death, he was completing a master's program in filmmaking and completing a documentary on African American artists in the animation industry.

He was an amazing spirit and always had a smile on his face. He left us way too early and I hope with this small post that his legacy and spirit always continue.

Via Cartoon Brew, Kevyn's family is making a public plea for support and asking those in the LA area to attend a hearing for Kevyn against the drunk driver, who has yet served time. The location is for Monday, August 27 at 8:30am at the Los Angeles Criminal Courts Building, 210 West Temple Street, 11th floor, Room 114.

I cannot attend but will be there in spirit and pass the word for those who can.

As important, I hope one day that Kevyn's film be completed so his love and passion for this industry always continue!!!!

Hi folks,
It's been awhile since I've blogged but I wanted to share an amazing auction with you organized by uber artist extraodinaire and friend Dice Tsutsumi. Dice as well as many artists here at Pixar and elsewhere are auctioning sketches and doodles to help generate proceeds toward MercyCorp, who are assisting those still devastated by the Japan Earthquake 1 year ago.

In the coming week I'll have two doodles to contribute. I'll keep ya posted! Thank you so much y'all for all the love for such a wonderful cause!!!!

Just hit the link below and be amazed at all the beautiful and generous work so many wonderful artists are doing!

Just a quick hello and thank you to all the folks I had the pleasure of meeting at CTN! It's events like CTN that help connect and reconnect us to the thing we all love, art and animation!!! Keep creating and keep going forward!! in a few days, hopefully before Thanksgiving, I'll post a blogroll of all those wonderful folks I had the chance to see.

In the meantime, here is a photo and sketch of me done by the incredible James Gurney!!!

This photo is a collective sketch we did with my good friends Leonardo Olea, Francisco Herrera, Florian Satzinger, Greg Baldwin and Dave Guertin of CreatureBox, and Jose Lopez at our post dinner. The greatest guys ever!!!
