Variety reports that Chris Sanders has now switched to Dreamworks Animation after him leaving Disney.

Apparently he will be directing the feature "Crood Awakenings" - a leftover project from the Dreamworks/Aardman agreement that is now solely inhouse at Dreamworks.

Feels like it's been a while...

Here are a few life drawings from today.

I'm definetly feeling scatterbrained right now so sorry that I haven't updated as often as I normally do.

Well, I guess the year ain't over yet...
