The Illustration of Jerrod Maruyama
I may have found an illustrator more obsessed with Disney/Pixar than I. I came across Jerrod Maryuama’s Kawaii (cute) styled Pixar characters earlier this year and I’m hooked. I love his style, including the variations (retro Incredibles, Snow White Poster) that I’ve seen. Jerrod has an insane understanding of shape, balance and simplicity in his illustrations.
Not only is he an amazing illustrator with a style all his own, but he’s incredibly kind and friendly. I suggest you follow him on Twitter at @jmaruyama and on Dribbble.
Cheers, Jerrod. You inspire me.

I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with ‘expressing’ myself with obscure creative impressions.

The Illustration of Kevin Kidney
The first time I saw Kevin Kidney’s artwork, I fell in love with it. It felt like retro Disney, like the Tiki room, like a lot of the art direction I had seen around Disney culture, but never had seen recently. I thought it was some amazing artist from 40 or so years ago.
Turns out Kevin Kidney was a designer for Disney. As of now, he’s a self-employed art director, illustrator, writer, sculptor, and maker of things. Things. All sorts of things. He’s obsessed with the style of the 60s and building art with anything: paper, paintbrushes, wood, ceramic, leather, even feathers. His art style is unique and is medium seems limitless.
Check out his blog to get updates on his work and his flickr to see a collection of his work.

I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.

From the ages of about 8-14, I was obsessed with pausing Disney VHS tapes and sketching the characters I loved. I was about 12 when I sketched this Phillipe from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.
At the time, we had an older man who was retired as our neighbor. He was very good with creating scenes out of wood. I made the wooden version of my sketch in his shop. What a wonderful soul for helping me.
The photo’s aren’t great, but serve as a reminder to me of how much I love illustration.

I just stumbled across the amazing illustration and poster work by Eric Tan, due to a gratuitous tweet from Chris Gedrim. Wow. I’m especially digging on the Indiana Jones work. o_0. Stunning.
