Wall•e World


For the upcoming release of Wall•e, Pixar is all decked out with film development art and standees from the film. They were kind enough to use those posters I did way back to line both walls. My first reaction after seeing them up was shock, then I picked myself up off the floor and felt kinda dizzy. Fortunately, they had this bench smack dab in the center where I could get it together. That's me in the middle there with Wall•e & Eve. It's quite the honor to get to work on all these projects. I never thought I'd get close to doing anything this cool. Just as I started to get all sentimental or whatever, I found this fat ball outside and immediately tried to roll into a bike rack on their front lawn. I don't think they're inviting me back anytime soon.

Congrats, Tan!
And all this time I thought you just sleep at work.
Kidding, that's such a great honor, and well deserved.
I will eat a taco in your honor today.

I like the blog new look and logos and stuff. And all the blue. Did I mention that before? Oh yeah, the Wall E stuff is cool too.

Thanks guys! It's a bit difficult to completely enjoy the entire experience cuz I find that I constantly pick apart everything I do. I'm getting better at letting things go once they're approved but I swear I was looking up at those posters and I wanted to change the colors around, tweak the typefaces, and redraw the artwork cuz I feel I have a better handle on them now. We artists have some sick, tortured souls. Sometimes I wish I was one of those a-holes who loves everything they do ;)
