Animation Skeptic since 1987. Makin’ it come to life, and hopefully, helpin’ you feel something.
Farewell, J. Lane Molpus. We did have some overlap at Pixar, but I can’t say I knew John well. Regardless, I want to honor him and his contributions as a founding member of Pixar. Rest in peace. www.forbisanddick.com/obituaries/J...
Today’s #throwbackthursday goes back to 2012, when I drew my #happybeaver character as #johncarter! I did tons of character mashups like this back in the day.
#ToonTuesday features some old #ToyStory artwork - storyboards from the first film, and a #Chaplin homage for #ToyStory4. I’m so proud to have them on display at #Pixar! Be sure to check out #ToyStory5, now playing at a theater near you!
We have lost a titan. One of the greatest cartoonists, wielding a slashing wit. His artwork still fills me with awe. #patrickoliphant #RIP
Today’s #throwbackthursday is from (roughly) 2012 - a hand drawn/colored #partysaurusrex piece for a charity auction! I may have scanned the b/w art, but as far as I know, only two copies of this exist. As always, make sure to check out #toystory5, in theaters now!
Day 4 of room prep. I shifted focus over to the guest room, and it’s coming along pretty well! #toystoystoys
More progress! Time to move on to the next room, and get some more display cases. #toystoystoys
Still a lot to do, but I couldn’t walk to the back of the room two days ago! #toystoystoys
#ThrowbackThursday takes us back to 1997, and another concept creature for #MonstersInc. This one is more of a Sylvia Sidney type, possibly from when Scaring-As-Theatrical-Performance (rather than energy generation) was considered. Creating the world from scratch was daunting, but fun! #seetoystory5
New arrivals! #carlbarks #donaldduck #fantagraphics #comics #unclescrooge #ducktalesthesource
#toontuesday takes us back to 1997, and this drawing of Sully and Boo. She was significantly older at first. Sully looks like Walter Matthau because, well, I like Walter Matthau! #monstersinc #development #jeffpidgeon
I was very happy to see the Sabacc dice available again at #galaxysedge. Thanks, #disneyland!
Today’s #throwbackthursday is a 2011 piece inspired by “Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation”. The original was a xeroxed sheet of plastic mounted on a printed background, like an animation cel set-up. It was sold at an auction, but I kept a copy. Be sure to check out #toystory5, now in theaters!
Signing away at #NostalgiaConAnaheim! It’s always nice to autograph a more obscure piece. Be sure to see #ToyStory5, in theaters now!
Years of hard work by a wonderful team pay off today. It’s been quite a wait, but #ToyStory5 is finally here! I hope you’ll have a great time watching this new adventure! Don’t forget, you can meet me in person at #NostalgiaConAnaheim starting today through Sunday, June 21st. #jeffpidgeon
Today’s #throwbackthursday is from twenty years ago - Mr. Potato Head gag drawings for #ToyStory3! Be sure to check out #ToyStory5 (opens tomorrow!) and see me at #NostalgiaConAnaheim, June 19-21st! #jeffpidgeon
Today’s the last #toystorytuesday before #toystory5 opens on June 19th! These drawings are from three years ago, when vending machine toys were in the story. It’s a shame they were cut, as I was hoping to get a monster finger puppet in the film! I’ll be at #nostalgiaconanaheim from June 19-21st!
