Thanks for stopping by...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank you all for showing up and checking in from time to time. If it wasn't for your support and feedback, I would probably just be hiding all of my ideas and doodles in drawers or hard drives somewhere, never finishing or feeling quite right about how they turned out... so thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. The blog circuit has really changed the way artists share and grow!

And speaking of sharing, I thought I'd share what I've been up to lately. As some of you might know, I started as a Disney character artist intern about 2 years ago. From there I worked with Disney Interactive and some other game studios as a freelancer.... but I'm sooooo happy to announce that I'm back with Disney as a full time Senior Designer! And you're not going to believe what I'm doing because it's super flippin' cool. [Pause for effect]
I'm designing girl's toys for Disney's Fairies. I LOVE Fairies!! I'm living the dream, man.

I feel like Tom Hanks in Big everyday.

So without further ado... a fairy!
