So this weekend there's a little film called Coraline. You should go see it. If you read my blog, you're either related to me (so you better go see it) OR you're a bit of a weirdo (in which case you'll love the film). Either way, I think it's a pretty darn good movie and I'm really hoping it does well it's opening weekend...

Also, there's a panel at Nucleus on Saturday where myself and several far more talented artists will be showing our stuff. Shane Prigmore, Shannon Tindle, Dan Krall, my domestic partner Jon Klassen - all will display there awesome artworks...

Anyways, here's a couple of my things from the film - I'll try to put the rest up next week if I can find them:

i cried and cried and cried when i saw that none of your ridiculously amazing artwork from coraline made it into the book... (not to mention klassen, turnham, etc...) seeing these images reminds me of the feeling that got me so excited about working on the film when i first started. that hillside image is pretty much what you see in the film. good luck with your panel tomorrow, and keep up the killer work.

The artwork looks great! Just finished the book recently. Now I MUST see the film.

Awesome paintings! Glad you posted these. Saw the movie last night with my GF. We both enjoyed it. You can tell the builders used your concepts for reference pretty closely! ITs a shame you didnt get more recognition. Looking forward to see the other paintings.

We bought tickets in advance for 4:30 in 3D! I insisted we go opening weekend. I loved the book and have heard only GREAT things about the film. It looks stunning. Congratulations! --Veronica

I just read the wiki on Coraline, and it sounds like a great movie. Originally, I wasn't very interested in it, but now I REALLY wanna see it!
