Disney Portfolio Reviews & Character Design Panel at CTN-X

I'll join Nate Wragg and Jose Lopez for a panel discussion about Character Design at CTN-X 2011

CTN-X 2011 is almost here!

Character Design Round Table:

I will be joining three incredible artists for a Character Design round table discussion on Saturday morning from 10am-12pm in Parlor 131.

Here’s the description from the CTN:

The top 5 portfolios have been pre-selected to be critiqued live by the best character design eyes in the business. In a round table format they will discuss what works, what can be done better and give personal tips that everyone needs to hear.

Sounds like fun, huh?! Wow. I have NO idea how I ended up on the same panel as Nate Wragg, Jose Lopez and Florian Satzinger. These guys are flippin’ geniuses! I am humbled and terrified. …and I can’t wait.

My Disney Booth Schedule:

I will also be reviewing portfolios at the Disney booth on Saturday from 4pm-6pm and on Sunday from 10am-12pm.  Stop by and say hi to me and my lovely colleagues.

Stop By My Booth For A Postcard:

The rest of the weekend, I will be hanging out at booth T-47 with my buddy Jason Pruett.  I’ll be handing out postcards that feature my comic characters (a rare opportunity to get a sneak peek at some brand new prehistoric freaks) as well as my Forest Demon painting.

I am so jazzed for this weekend! I hope to see you there!

I haven’t heard of any streaming but they might put it up on the CTN vimeo channel.
