It has been a while since I posted. My lovely little family went through a bit of a health crisis over the past 4 months.Doing personal art and posting to my blog where miles from the bottom of my to do list. That said, spring has come to the Klocek household and everyone is doing really well. That means I may have a little time for my own art now and again. This one was done alongside my mom at my folks house, right after I finished putting the kids down for the night.

It's always exciting when a production that you worked so hard on is recognized and gets an award or nomination, specially a major one like the Oscar and the Annie. Along with my good friend Robert Sprathoff we produced and supervised the animation and cleanup of the whole car chase sequence ( plus several other scenes scattered throughout the movie) in our studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We gathered the best team of cleanup artists ever assembled here in Brazil, that also worked on a big portion of Disney's The Princess and the Frog. We got the work thanks to Sergio Pablos, who was producing a big part of the film at his studio in Madrid and needed help.

Watercolor, gouache and pencil on watercolor board. Image links to a larger view. An Auction Piece . I tried many studies of what to do after Ted Mathot suggested I try a companion piece to the Crystal one I did for the Emergency auction at Maverix. I had two false starts and this one was a study I had come back to after the rather tepid first tries.
John Hench, Mr. Toad and Kali
Some killer illustrations by John Hench from the Mr. Toad Golden Book. And her own really fun colorful cartoon sketches: She's obsessed with Wade's head. Amazing color technique! She's doing some color keys for George Liquor now and if they look like this we have some handsome cartoon BGs!
This week I'm officially back at the Walt Disney Animation Studios. I couldn't be more happy to join such amazing and talented artists who are all so happy and eager to make great films. It's been a while since being at the studio and there are many new faces along with many old ones who I had so much pleasure to see again. The buildning has undergone many cosmetic changes within but walking through on a tour today brought out dream like memories of experiances long ago. Some say that walls have memories - today I felt them. I can remember moments in the corridors of every corner I walked into.
THE ART OF DAVE PIMENTEL
Teaching a class at Art Center College of Design this term and working with some fantastic students that have a hunger for growth with great passion in there ideas and designs. This weeks assignment is to record yourself acting out lines from a movie script and translate it into your character designs. This is the first time I tried this technique as an assignment for my class.

Le marché du film d’animation est certes dominé par les américains, qui réunissent 45% de l’offre contre 20% pour les français et 20% pour les japonais mais les français se défendent plutôt bien sur le marché ! Les derniers chiffres en date (2006) publiés par le Syndicat des producteurs de films d’animation (SPFA) le montrent bien. En 2006, sur 26 films sortis en salle, 7 étaient des films français, représentant 9 millions d’entrées pour 28 millions au total dans le monde. 3 films français ont dépassé la barre du million d’entrées. Au total, les productions françaises ont engendrées 50 millions de recettes.
