Fallen Moonlight
When I was young I expected that I would live alone in a small cottage in the English countryside painting and drawing by myself. Over the years I have found that collaborating with others has made me a far stronger and more satisfied artist than I could have ever been on my own.
Work History

  • Art Director

    Pixar

    2005 - October 2017

    As an Art Director I'm responsible for helping to define the creative vision of a project, while at the same time partnering with the Director and Production Designer to guide the design from the beginning to the end of production. I spend about half my time drawing and painting, with the remainder of my time spent communicating with, bonding together and leading teams of world class Designers and Engineers.
