I just now found your blog (via Michael Sporn's) and I am so glad I did . Wonderful art from "Surf's Up" ! Thanks for posting all that work .
I too felt that "Surf's Up" was unjustly overlooked at the box-office. I don't know if it was the advertising campaign just didn't connect with the audience or the perception of "what ? another penguin movie?" hurt it , or whatever ... had to be heartbreaking for you guys to watch it go down at the box-office, but you did something with real integrity and I think you pushed the CG medium.
It was a really good movie and I can only hope that like other films such as Iron Giant , Emperor's New Groove, etc. that it finds a second life and a solid fan base on DVD.
Paul! Happy New Year and yes, your family -should- take precedence during this time. :) I love the card, by the way. The pine trees, berries and snow drops remind me of Japanese paintings. That would make a -super- kimono design, incidentally - would you mind if I attempt to turn it into one for a hypothetical character for practice?
Can't wait to see what you put on this blog this year, Paul. I was pimping your work to some fellow guys here in the studio I'm at. And be prepared to become addicted to sketching with the DS.
