BLUE SKY LOGO REDESIGN

David Dibble and I got the assignment to redesign the Blue Sky logo. As always, it was really fun collaborating with him and the very talented Jeff Gabor animated Scrat on the logo's reveal. It will debut along with the release of "Epic" in May.

RIO

Blue Sky released its sixth animated feature today. I started working on Rio in late 2007 when it was still in development and did mostly character work. I was involved in the design of the following: Tulio, Linda, the marmosets (monkeys), the baby version of Blu, the spoonbill, the egret, the Canadian goose, the songbirds, the carnival costumes and the end credit graphics. It was a really fun two and a half years being on this picture. We're hoping it does well.
