Disney Interactive. . .


The Dream job! I felt so fortunate to be included in such a talented group of artist & designers. I learned a great deal about layout design, creating & using curved perspective grids. A technique that opened a door to scene creation that has proven to be far more dynamic. The degree of bent perspective, great or small, has a direct impact on the look of the piece. I plan on going into this with much more detail in a later post.
Dealing with design for 3D, lighting became a very important part of the look & feel of a given scene. Not only can it make a very simple scene interesting, it helps direct the viewers eye while adding mystery & drama.
The inspiration & encouragement I received from my friends there, drove me to new heights I had never before experience. Working along side the best the industry had to offer, only increased my personal desire to be the best that I could be. It truly was a job that felt nothing like WORK!

New Creative Ventures

For many years now, I have been inspired by some very talented individuals. From exceptionally driven classmates & the instructors who guided us, to a growing family of very gifted co-workers.
The greatest growth I experienced as an artist, has been in collaborative working environments, especially where egos were absent from the creative process. And without a doubt, my years
at Disney ranks the highest in this regard. The dedicated teamwork, the genuine mutual respect, and the diverse creative influence, is something I have always cherished and have since been seeking
to recapture.
Through out my journey as an Artist & Designer, I have drawn many conclusions about my abilities, and what I wanted to accomplish. At times my conclusions were filled with doubt and others with a new found strength of accomplishment. This blog is a continuation of
that journey. An outlet for learning and sharing. For making new acquaintances, exploring new creative ventures & of course uncovering New Drawn Conclusions of discovery, ability & accomplishment.
