Welcome to my my Portfolio Page.

This is where you'll find my professional work (and some personal pieces as well).

As always, I'm unable to post my current work, as it's for films that have yet to hit the big screen.

Don't forget to visit my BLOG. There's more of my work there, plus a bunch of other fun stuff.

Flushed Away

I did a few early vis-dev pieces for Flushed Away...while it was still an Ardman Project. This one's my favorite...mostly because I had a fantastic layout by art director, Pierre-Olivier Vincent (POV). By the way, last year POV won the Annie Award for production design for his work on Flushed Away! For those of you who aren't familiar with the Annies, it kind of like the Academy Awards for animation.

Bonjour Paul! This is Matt here @ Bibo's in Nice. So good to see your work online at last-looking forward to finally seeing SURF'S UP -it's released this Wednesday in France-they called it 'Les Rois de la glisse' which translates as KINGS OF THE SURF!

Bibo showed me the CD of shots you took while you were here-they're great. What kind of camera & lens were you using?

Jed Henry said...

Paul, this is all very inspiring. Marcelo led me here, but shoot, your blog is a main attraction all of its own. Very, very nice, sir.

My favorite is the waterfall shot for El Dorado. Well designed, skillfully realized.

Do you ever miss workin in acrylic?

Ratropolis! I did not see Flushed Away. I should. Then again I haven't seen a ton of films I should either so this is a normal trend...

You know. I look at this piece, and I immediately think, "All the lights of Rat Town, baby, and you can't find a single damn place to grow a pot of herbs and a Christmas tree. There might be an explosion with all that oxygen being pumped up into the air."

Jed,
Yes, I miss acrylic. I miss paint in general, but that's my fault. I have this big canvas sitting on an easel at home waiting to be painted upon. It's been there for months and it's still white. It stares me down whenever I enter the room.

Bobby,

No, sadly I don't have a book of just my work. I'm in several "Art Of" books though: Prince of Egypt, All The Lord of the Rings books, Open Season, and recently, Surf's Up.
But Most of them have lousy print quality. That's why I started this blog - I wanted people to see my work the way I intended it to look. We'll see how long it takes, but my intention is to post everything that's worth seeing.

Anna said...

Wow, really sool paintings. Soembody mention you about your Prince of Egypt paintings and I am so happy they provied a link to your blog. You have amazing work posted. I like your painting style and I could see the tons of experiance you have in it.
