A couple of years ago I had the chance to do some development for this new sony feature movie coming out. "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs". I was not a part of the final phase of the movie, but I was honored to find out that they put alot of my development work in this new book. It is filled with fantastic character design of all the people that contributed. The movie looks like alot of fun.

Yeah I remember these sketches in your studio a few years ago. This book is exactly how Art of books should be made, every page of it is just full of sketches, it's really well done.

Gabby,
I cleaned them up with brush pen by hand, scanned them in and colored them.

Congratulations man. You of all people deserve for them to show how much you contributed to the film and the overall look to the design aesthetic. You're an incredible talent . . . now more people can be aware of your craft!!!!

Hey Stephen that's great they've been included in the book! Awesome designs.

I was a student in your very first schoolism term, so thought you may like to see the designs I just completed for Nokia:
