Sometimes you see artwork that leaps off the screen - almost like visual click bait! Joseph Feinsilver's concept art did that to me when I spotted it on Instagram, so I wanted to chat to him about his story, his process and his work on Puss In Boots: The Last Wish.
Joe shares his story about breaking into the industry just out of college which is really inspiring if you're painting day and night, posting online and wondering what's going to happen next, and also chats about his process and tips for using color in storytelling.
If you're a fan of great art or interested in an Art Director's role in the pipeline of an animated film, I think you'll enjoy this episode. I did!
