"The Great Circle of Life"

Client-Acme Archives Direct/Disney Fine Art

This poster was originally created for Disney Fine Art to celebrate the Lion King coming back to theatres a few months ago.  The original art is sold, and this piece is not yet a limited edition, even though I've been told it probably will later on down the road.  So the only thing I can offer right now is this pretty digital file.  Hope you enjoy!

FYI- I probably watched the Lion King everyday when I got home from school in 5th grade, this film was my drive to be an artist as a kid.  To have the opportunity to do work for this masterpiece was an honor.

Coming soon, "Snow White and the Huntsmen"

"The Looney Tunes"

I'm thrilled to announce I'll be working with Warner Brothers on creating a new line of fine art in celebration of acclaimed film maker Chuck Jones. 

In a career spanning over 60 years, Jones made more than 300 animated films, winning three Oscars as director and in 1996 an honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement. Among the many awards and recognitions, one of those most valued was the honorary life membership from the Directors Guild of America. Chuck Jones.com

"Hugo"

Production-Paramount Pictures

Paris, 1930's.  A young boy named Hugo lives in the walls of a train station where he searches day and night for answers about his fathers death...

A little while back I began speaking with my rep in regards to creating a piece for Hugo.  We kind of went back and forth about what should be included in the art.  By the time we were done we pretty much squeezed the entire movie in one image.  Hugo is one of those stories where you just can't leave anything out of the art. 

Director Martin Scorsese made magic of Georges Melies' career.  Winner of 5 Academy Awards, Hugo was a masterpiece.

The original art will be available through Artinsights Gallery soon.
