While working on "What Its Like Being Alone" (www.beingalone.com), my boss, Brad Peyton was asked by Warner Bros. to submit a proposal for dirrecting an upcoming feature film, "Eddie Dickens and the Awful End". Brad responded with a wonderful vision of a film created mostly in live action, but with a visual stylization pushed as far as good animation. I was asked if I could do some character concepts, with Edward Gorey as inspiration, to be used in Brad's package. This image was my favorite design I came up with, depicting "the Peelers", the incompetant police in the world of Eddie Dickens.

GREAT NEWS: I spoke to Brad Peyton yesterday and the package he submitted to Warner Bros, which included this and some more of my designs, was approved. Brad will be directing "Eddie Dickens and the Awful End".
