Glen Keane As Inspiration

I love hearing artists discuss their work, especially when they go into what fuels their desire to create. Someone who has always been a huge inspiration to me is animator Glen Keane, whose work includes animating Aladdin, Ariel, Tarzan, Long John Silver, and the Beast. If you have ever heard one of Glen's lectures(they're all over the internet), you can tell how truly passionate he is about his work. He uses every opportunity he can to talk about how his faith fuels his passion. In this brief snippet from an interview he discusses how Beast's transformation in "Beauty and The Beast" was influenced by his understanding of his own spiritual transformation.


(Little fun fact: Glen Keane is the son Bill Keane, creator of The Family Circus)

Here is a sneak peak at a illustration that will be going in my senior project "The Amazing Cloud Brain and Other Such Nonsense"
























More news to come soon, hopefully!
