Celebrating my 25th Anniversary at Pixar!

In good company with the Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera ...
and with great stories of the "good old days" from the all the other Pixar Folks at the anniversary lunch ... 25 years went fast!

#Pixar #RenderMan #25thAnniversary

Happy Halloween!
Just a doodle of Pumpkin Head dressed up for the occasion

And ... if you'd like to trick or treat yourself to the original drawing, DM me.
Brush pen on paper ... 5.5in x 8.5in and $100.

That’s not a watercolor.
It’s a RenderMan render ...
with the 3D model right beside it.

At #AnnecyFestival, I’ll showcase how I brought this concept to life using the upcoming release of XPU.

It’s 77f degrees in Lucern, but didn’t stop me from eating the fondue

With Special thanks to our speakers, Mike Parker from #ILM, Alan Hernandez from #AtomicCartoons, Chris Herrick, Leif Pedersen, Christos Obretenov, Mark Manca & myself.

Yeah, it's lasted longer than I expected ...
just unusual in the industry ...

Thanks ... and ha, haven't gotten Neil Peart before!

Just moving over to Bluesky and wanted to share that this year I'm celebrating 25 Years at Pixar.
Thanks to all the folks I've made along the way,
and special thanks to those who have tolerated my terrible puns.
