Costume design for Theodora's riding outfit. This is the artwork that convinced Sam Raimi to entrust me with the challenging task of designing most of the costumes for the film. My drawings and ideas served as a guide for Gary Jones, my co-designer who injected his magic to bring them to life with the help of the talented people in the costume department.</div>

With today's premiere of Oz, I thought it might be cool to start sharing the designs. This was my first and only take on the River Fairy, it got approved by Sam right away. He's such an awesome director to work with. Enjoy the film everyone! :)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">With the movie successfully released, I wanted to announce the upcoming <a href="http://www.gallerynucleus.com/event/312">artist panel and book signing</a> at Gallery Nucleus. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I will be present together with my fellow artists who worked on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800369/">"Thor"</a>:<br />
<br />
Charlie Wen<br />
Ryan Meinerding<br />
Vance Kovacs<br />
<br />
The Art of Thor is a nice collectible for all the peeps interested in how the visual style for the film was created.<br />
It's 240 pages showcasing a great deal of the concept art for the film and comes in a slipcase with a nice spot varnish printing. If you don't get your hands on a signed copy at Nucleus, order here: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Thor-Art-Movie-Marvel-Comics/dp/0785151303">link</a><br />
<br />
Looking forward to seeing you at Nucleus! </span><br />

At the time I did it, I wasn't even aware what movie and director it was for. <br />
A couple of illustrators had been requested by Sony to participate in a pitch, and it turned out that Bobby Chiu, Kei Acedera and myself were hand picked by Tim Burton after Sony showed him the drawings.<br />
