To this day I am in awe of how the artist managed to bring her expression through, while clearly also putting her in a veil... in marble! Did you ever happen to sketch that one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-83167644817392838342011-07-11T16:06:45.658-07:002011-07-11T16:06:45.658-07:00P.S.

Seeing The Reluctant Dragon with him, and commenting it, was one of the best experiences I ever had. In 2006 I had the opportunity to meet Roy E. Disney in Positano (he was presenting Destino, and I remember me crying in front of his smiling face when I saw the surrealistic short for the very first time). I was so sad when you presented The Princess and the Frog (just 1 km away from my abitation!). I didn't know you were there and I was so upset I let that opportunity pass. I hope to meet you someday.Andrea Giglio 82https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863372756464138357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-28878205570715404812011-07-11T14:29:13.224-07:002011-07-11T14:29:13.224-07:00Mr. Deja, I was born in Rome in 1982 and I lived h...Mr. Deja, I was born in Rome in 1982 and I lived here ever since. It is so true what you said. Often I've seen americans with a great sense of Awe (at the same time I found that they consider Italy as a country sticked in the past, at the times of "Pane, Amore e Fantasia" or "La Dolce Vita" and they don't see how young italians aim to modernize Italy, Cars2's Porto Corsa it's just an example of the way Americans see our country: the land of pizza, amore, mandolins and Godfathers) As an artist and a 3D animator myself I love the artistic beauties of my city, but often I take them for granted. I loved your interpretation of European artistic masterpiece. It's fresh, original and so light. It's a pity Disney never released a story set in Rome or in Italy. (Pinocchio's set is not Italian, even though I adore Tenggrenn's Tyrole, and The Dance of the Hours it's a stage that has nothing to share with Venice). I have a project to release a short concerning an old roman myth. Let's see if I find money to finish it. By the way, thanks for your blog. It's always good to learn something more about the Nine Old Men from a person how knew them. And thanks for your art, of course, I'm a great fan of you since I saw Roger Rabbit and I loved Triton, Gaston, Scar, Hercules, your version Mickey Mouse and Lilo so much.Andrea Giglio 82https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863372756464138357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-4413748029528408702011-07-02T05:21:59.377-07:002011-07-02T05:21:59.377-07:00Oh wow!

There is so much emotion in their work that goes beyond perfection of the tools of the artist. Your sketches reflect all of this, too, and it goes to show that practice really does make perfect. <br /><br />Thank you also for starting such an inspiring blog. Between you and Hans, I can sufficiently get my daily art fix. :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694049372735828217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-64341329734407136562011-07-01T10:12:57.200-07:002011-07-01T10:12:57.200-07:00Just for clarification...by masters, I did mean

Sullivant, Kley, and now the European masters are really inspirationational to me because they're not animators which really helps for once give me a variety of sources. I've been thinking up a few shorts lately and am thinking about using a non-animation illustrator as the influence for the style of the short while timing it to my favorite music, jazz.
