I was lucky to be able to work alongside Gary during my time on John Carter of Mars. I think I have learned more about movement, drawing, film-making and design from him than anyone I’ve ever met. Above all he has a great sense of humor!

He really has a wealth of experience. Projects like Space Jam, The Thief and the Cobbler, Prince of Egypt, Sinbad, Runaway Brain and Gnomeo and Juliet, are just to name a few. He has also worked on a variety of commercials and TV shows, some of which are from my childhood! I can’t wait to get the chance to work with him again! These are just a few images I have selected from his massive portfolio, so you better check out his character designs, animation, illustrations and storyboards all on his website!
