Well, there is something pleasing about animated films in that the animated film is artwork, per say as opposed to photography. And so artwork to sell artwork is kind of a natural way to go. And I love doing it, especially since so many one-sheets today are simply publicity shots of who’s starring in the film. There’s not a lot of art or design really involved. I’ve been very privileged to do a lot of work for Disney on some of their films over the last ten years and those are pieces I show with great pride.
