Penguins of Madagascar

I didn't work on "Penguins" very long, and it was my last stint at Dreamworks/PDI. It was good to get back into production with my old animation war buddies though! And it was good to get back out before they shut the place down.. R.I.P. PDI!  <3

Goodbye My Friend, Eli

My dear friend Eli has many black belts in braking stuff and has left DW after 12 years. So I made him a goodbye card so that he wouldn't chop me with his karate. Good luck my duder! 

Madagascar 3 Work

Part of what made working on "Madagascar 3" so fun was taking the style of "Madagascar", which had already and been established in the previous "Madagascar" films and tweaking it a little to try and capture some European sensibilities.
