Zoo Sketching with Aaron Blaise
Can you believe I got to sketch at the zoo with the animator of Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Brother Bear? Aaron Blaise is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to drawing animals. The time I spent with him was super educational and humbling. It was also just a really fun few days.

While he was in San Diego he interviewed me.
I also painted him as Santa last week
