The Totoro Forest Project is a fund-raising exhibition/auction to support the non-profit organization, "Totoro No Furusato National Fund", established by Oscar winning filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki.
I'm incredibly honored to be a part of this project and can't wait to see all of the artwork in person! Buy your tickets now so we can hang out and save trees!

Horton Hears a Who in Amsterdam...

A couple of images from Cinema Expo in Amsterdam. Coolest part about it for me is that it was a collaboration of a great group of friends. I drew the pose of Horton and Sang Jun (Jedi) Lee, my old animation class buddy painted him. The amazing draftsman (and tennis nemesis), Kyle MacNaughton designed the background. Finally, it was painted by Xiangyuan Jie (Master J) with additional touches of magic by resident giant Bob MacKenzie.
