Makin' Magic At Laika!

Hi, all!
Just want to let y'all know I'm now working in Laika's armature department on pre-production for their follow-up feature to the soon to be released "ParaNorman" so I won't be taking any freelance gigs for a while.
I'm bound to a confidentiality agreement regarding the details of the project so please don't ask 'cause I can't tell you anything...except to say that Laika is breaking new ground on this one in terms of scale and stop-mo technology!
Keep your eyes peeled in 2014!
It's gonna be awesome!

All stainless steel with SignFoam to bulk up the body mass areas.


Threw a Sharpie in there for scale on the big guy.
