Career
Coach - Gift Ideas!
The holidays are coming, which traditionally include gift-giving.
Here are a few suggestions that would be welcomed by aspiring
artists, writers, or producers.Help
an artist get an early start by giving a child a drawing pad,
a sketchbook, and set of colored pencils. If you want to include
a how to draw book that would be great. Take a child to an art
museum or to a zoo and take your sketchbooks with you....

- The King of CG Beasts
It's
a drizzly overcast Friday in Marina del Rey, California. One week
to go before the opening of the most anticipated film that Rhythm
& Hues has ever worked on: “The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” -- and the buzz is
building, as the weekly barbeque is underway. 500 digital artists
grab lunch and return to work on their current projects, (“Superman
Returns,” “Charlotte’s Web,” “Garfield
2,” “Fast & Furious Tokyo,”). As they do,
a growing wave of press and media attention starts to pour in
through the high speed web servers of the privately owned company
that doesn’t normally toot its own horn...
The
Apprentice Program
Here at TSP we get a lot of letters from students asking how to

you say if I was to tell you that there is a studio that offers
an apprentice program where you will have the opportunity to be
in a major studio, get paid training, your own mentor to help
guide you, and potentially being offered a freelance job on one
of the studio's current films?..

ARTIST - Andrew Bell- Dead Zebra's owner/president/creative director/janitor
Andrew Bell was born in England in the late 70s and spent his
early years moving from house to house and country to country.
His family finally settled down on the east coast of the US where
he spent the majority of his youth. Andrew kept himself busy with
an unlikely combination of skateboarding and computers. These
artistic and technical influences came together when he attended
the School of Visual Arts in NYC in the mid 90's, majoring in
the emerging field of computer-based artwork...
