Before I worked as a digital illustrator, I was a budding development artist who painted in
gouache.These are some images that I worked on for Eric and Sue Goldberg. They were pitching an idea for The Frog Prince as an animated film. It got shelved, but it is kind of funny that the original pitch reminded me of Shrek because it lampooned Disney films....Disney making fun of Disney. Anyway, it all took place in Venice! Che Bella!!!! I loved working on this project and I have sat on this work for a long time but figured it's okay to show these because now Disney is releasing the Princess and the Frog and it's an entirely different version.
This was a piece that was a spin on the Eyvind Earle storybook opening for Sleeping Beauty:
In the pitch the Frog Prince goes to a masquerade and script called for all of the characters to walk a red carpet like a Hollwood premiere.
I channeled my inner Bob Mackie when I designed these.
Here we have the Italian Stallion
A fantastic flamingo
A cute little seahorse
And a beautiful unicorn
