Inside Out 2 is out!
I worked on the film back in 2021, it was early in the production so the story changed quite a lot since those early concepts!
This is a painting illustrating one of the key moment of the film back then, alongside the various sketches I summited before doing the final colour version.

‘Ron’s Gone Wrong’ - Cars - 2017
One of the first version of the Pudowsky’s car, and some early rough designs for random cars in the movie. I had lots if fun playing with proportions, stretching them in various ways. The car of Barney’s family got later replaced by a more contemporary red pick-up truck, I include a rough sketch at the end.

“Weird Jungle 2”
I’ve always loved strange looking vegetation. Had fun exploring shapes and colours with this one!

A final post for my contribution on the movie, for the “Time Go Fishing” sequence.
Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller brought me in to explore the auroras on planet Adrian: how they could play in terms of colour, lighting and emotional arc through the sequence.
The sequence was already deep in the VFX pipeline at ILM, so all the shots and compositions were already locked. I explored colours ideas through a rough colour script and paintovers to get a quick overview and context for the sequence.
Absolutely Love how it turned out on screen 👌

I absolutely loved the book, so when I was asked last year to lend a hand on Project Hail Mary, I was beyond excited.
