Mickey Mouse Brand

I've been watching a lot of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse lately. I actually enjoy it because I analyze the three-dimensional graphics. Then, I started to think of the Disney and Mickey Mouse brand, and thought how cool is it that you can recognize the Mickey brand by THREE CIRCLES...

Pixar's Brave

"Brave" is the 13th-straight Pixar release to open at No. 1 since "Toy Story" launched Hollywood's age of computer animation in 1995.

Saw Disney Pixar's Brave 3-D. I have a great love for digital animation. There is no studio better at formulating a great story with superb animation like Pixar. Their film short, La Luna, was another sweet, clever animation preceding the film.

I can understand critic's complaints that the story is safe (by Pixar's standards), and similar to many Disney princess movies (and Beauty and the Beast). However, the film is enjoyable, funny, smart, and incredibly animated. I highly recommend seeing it.


SIDE NOTE:
Lord Dingwall may be my favorite digitally animated character ever.

I've always enjoyed when an artist renders what a cartoon character would look like if it was real. I've seen it in an episode of South Park of the boys, an illustrator figuring out the skeletal anatomy of Peanut's characters, and here is one of Disney characters as real-life-like renderings.

Belle is a cutie.

Not really sure why I created these Mr. Potato Head Illustrator vectors. I guess I was inspired after illustrating a vector ping pong ball the other day. It is what it is.
