Little Sneak Peek of my new Hippo Tiki Mug Box!!! Really excited how it turned out. You can still pre-order a Hippopotamus for Christmas from @tikilandtrading (they’ll ship early next year). #hippo #tikimug #tiki #hippoforchristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/CI694icFB1L/?igshid=qzd5m4yqhact

SHIPPING BEGINS TODAY!!! Final batch goes out Monday! Thanks again to all who ordered..I love knowing these Bears are going to a great new home! Thanks also to everyone who has let me know their addresses had changed. I don’t usually do preorders like this because I don’t really like how long of a lead time has to happen, but the trade off is that I was able to satisfy so many of you who wanted a chance to snag a Whittle Bear! #Enjoy #whittlebear #shippingbegins https://www.instagram.com/p/CHiqcRSgxMa/?igshid=1qjwp2pgy6ksk

Boxing time!!! Really appreciate everyone’s patience. These projects are a labor of love for me. It’s so much fun making each box just right...filled with all these whittle goodies too!!! #whittlebear #bandana #custombox #nature #wilderness #frontier #nationalparks https://www.instagram.com/p/CHewBxkg3jC/?igshid=qbuvaqy69t71

So excited to finally share my approved proof glaze sample for the @tikilandtrading Whittle Hippo Mug! Thanks to all those who have purchased one and that have been so patiently waiting! It takes time to make it perfect for you all! I can’t wait for everyone to hold them in their hand...It’s hard to believe this guy is a ceramic mug!!! He turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined. What a pleasure it was to get to work with my pal, the amazing @jmick71 on the 3D sculpt and @tikitony @losttiki to get the details 👌 and bring him to life!!! It’s still available for presale at a discounted price but that won’t last forever! Head over to @tikilandtrading IG profile, or by visiting TikiLandTrading.com *Also special shout out to the ever talented @thematthewsmith for taking some amazing pics for us! https://www.instagram.com/p/CFz4Ws_lE-K/?igshid=47tsi5eizck1

UPDATE!!! SOLD OUT!!! The Bears are coming along nicely! It’s always fun seeing them all lined up. Thank you all for your orders!!! I’m hoping to ship by mid to late October! I’m also trying to find a night to do my first ever live Instagram painting demo!!! So stay tuned for that. #whittlebear #grizzly #nationalparks #wilderness #frontierland #woodcarving #resin #sculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/CFbPST4Agty/?igshid=8tnmrjvrsy1a

With my 13th anniversary coming up next week of my start @disneyanimation I was feeling nostalgic as I came across this pic of my very first office space! What a fun start to my career in this space. My first feature was Princess and the Frog. If you look close I have some artwork on the wall. I’ve been so lucky to be surrounded by some of the greatest people in animation to work with over all these years! They put all 6 of us Story Trainees in one of the story rooms. It was tight, but it was home. I used a 2D animation desk to create a wall behind my chair and added a cardboard box with a window cut out to feel like I was in the old west! I love good memories like this especially since it’s been so long since we’ve been in the building together. #disneyanimation #disney #princessandthefrog #storyboarding #animation https://www.instagram.com/p/CEdj22wA7t_/?igshid=2aon6uw3y3qx
