ANNIE AWARD NOMINATION !

I Just found out I have been nominated for an ANNIE AWARD in the category of "Character Design in a Feature Production" for my work on Coraline.....Wow!...... I am honored to be nominated alongside my good friend Shannon Tindle (Coraline), and the incredibly talented Daniel Lopez Munoz (UP).

I only wish that Mr. Dan Krall might have been nominated in some category for his incredible contributions on Coraline as well. There were so many talented people from every studio that were not nominated this year, so hats off to all of you.

and, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!

Last night I, along with my fellow designers Carter Goodrich and Takao Noguchi, won the ANNIE AWARD for "Outstanding Achievement in Character Design for a Feature Production" for our work on Dreamworks animations the CROODS. This is my second Annie Award (and second nomination), and I am incredibly grateful and honored to have been considered alongside all of the amazingly talented nominees once again.
