Happy New Year Party People! #AlmostBedTime #seeyounextyear #2018 (at My Bedroom)

Aside from having a second child, starting this instagram account, seeing Justice League and Star Wars 8, and catching Mewtwo, one of my biggest highlights of 2017 has been my new job at @Pixar Animation Studios. It has been such a blast working in such a fantastic facility with so many creative, technical, and overall genuinely kind and fun minds! Started this drawing a couple weeks after working there for something completely different, but I love even more where it ended up. Here’s to another great year of fun surprises and accomplishments. • • • #pixar #disney #toystory #abugslife #toystory2 #Monsersinc #monstersuinversity #toystory3 #Up #ratatouille #walle #brave #Finding Nemo #findingdory #Cars #cars2 #cars3 #Coco #insideout #gooddinosaur #Incredibles #incredibles2 #2017 #happynewyear #luxo (at Pixar)

Thanks @sandhannahtizer for the education on what a Steam Shovel was. After looking it up and having to think of a quick story, I remembered a line from the show Powerless. “What is the number one cause of workplace accidents? The answer: Superman getting thrown through your office.” 5/5 Story 3 panel Story week challenge! The #3panelchallenge is something I made up to storyboard a little something every day! I coaxed @itspimwong into doing it with me and had @sandhannahtizer give us one word prompts every day. Lots of fun and challenging to get a full little story told in 3 panels. Enjoy!
