A Little Bit of History
Here is a little self- portrait of me circa 20 years ago.
I've spent months trying to come up with the right words to express myself in this post, but I still don't think I can do it justice. Simply put, life is wonderful. If you can dream it, you can do it.
20 years later, that little girl gets to stroll into the Walt Disney Animation Studios every day and walk among giants. It doesn't get much sweeter than that.
I sincerely thank everyone who has ever given me support, and if you are reading this, that includes you. Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I haven't quite gotten settled in the new job yet, so posts might be sparse for a while. I will do my best to keep up, but please forgive me if I am a little slow. I will still be heading out to conventions, including Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle next weekend! If you are in the area you should definitely stop by! And after that I will be back in the Bay for Wondercon! If you have a chance to come to either show, please do. Until then, ta ta for now!
congrats

ReplyDeleteBest!
congratulations.. i hope one day i too get to know what that feels like. what a great opportunity!
ReplyDeletewish i could say congratulations, but i was really hoping you would be doing paper-cut art as your career, haha, they are one the best and most original art forms i've seen in a long long time.
ReplyDeletebut i feel disney has scooped up another incredible artist and your own work will slow to a stop, please dont let this happen!!....please dont give up your craft! it is truly amazing!
Congrats, Britney!

All the best at Disney Britney, looks like you've worked super hard, so well done, keep up the fantastic work - you've made it! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Brittney!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your job at Disney! You're a perfect fit and they are lucky to have you!
It was so nice to see you again at Wondercon! I am in love with your work; your vivid colors and appealing designs always make me feel warm and happy.
I wear your red, blue and yellow birdie pins along my purse strap--I LOVE how cute they are!! I wish they would come alive so I can pet them, hehe! And I adore the Dinosaur Party print I picked up at the show--it has so much storytelling, how the carnivorous raptors are looking on as their buddy T-rex is partying with the veggiesaurs!
Your work always makes me smile!

ReplyDeleteI looove your work. It has wonderful emotion, character, and design! I was wondering if i might be able to use this, and perhaps one of your other designs for a design-to-sculpture contest I'm having. (I'm posting work from 5-10 character designers and then sculpting the most popular design) It's totally non-profit, just for fun (and I'm acknowledging all of the artists of course) Would you be interested in participating?
ReplyDeleteyour work is absolutely beautiful!
