What is your role at ILM at present
I am an Art Director .

Favorite project that you have worked on since speaking at SP
War of the Worlds in 2005. It was a great experience working with Dennis Muren and Steven Spielberg. At the time it felt like I was taking part in a big, fun movie. Steven is a fan of ILM's work and that positive spirit really rubbed off on the crew. It was a very tough schedule, but I had a great time working on it.
Later that year I worked on Jarhead followed by another Spielberg project called Munich. In that film one of my jobs was to paint the World Trade Center back into the New York skyline. 

How has your personal illustration been going?
Going really well. I haven't been doing as much as I would like, but I have gotten to do some fun book covers over the last 2 years. I am currently trying to finish up my own graphic novel.  I would like to make some time for my personal work it in the near future.

What projects has ILM been working on recently, and into the future?
ILM has just finished up with Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, Transformers and work on Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix. Myself,  I am currently working on a film called The Spiderwick Chronicles and just now starting on the next Indiana Jones Installment.

Best 'cool' story about something that has happened at work?
Back in the Spiring of 2005 we were all working very hard on War of the Worlds and we had made a lot of progress over the weekend with a couple of key shots on the film.  The following Monday we showed the shots in a transmission to Steven. He was very impressed by how far we had come. Steven knew that we had been working tirelessly over the weekend and said something like "I hope you guys are being fed well". Two days later dozens of Deep Dish Pizzas were flown in directly from Chicago and served to us by a professional catering crew as a surprise gift from Steven. It was such a classy thing to do.
