Hi there!

ASIFA-Atlanta thought you might be interested in seeing character-designer and illustrator Peter de Sève at Portfolio Center on May 7th at 10am. Peter has worked for Disney, Pixar, and Blue Sky, among others.

Here's an excerpt from http://www.peterdeseve.com/?fa=about_bio

De Sève has designed posters for Broadway shows, as well as characters for numerous animated feature films, produced by Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar, and Twentieth Century Fox (Blue Sky Studios). His credits include The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Prince of Egypt, Mulan, A Bug's Life, Tarzan, and the box office hit, Ice Age, for which he created all of the characters. In addition to his extensive work in animated feature film, de Sève has provided designs for television commercials, including a Nike spot, titled "Destination Moon," which won a silver Clio award. In 2002, he received the distinguished Hamilton King Award from the Society of Illustrators.
