COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Ze Team

Tigobo Animation Studios: Ze team, complete, at least for the most part. Arthur Fong was at that moment already on his way to Paris and Casey Maxwell Clair and Christopher Beaumont took the air.
Here are some impressions of the character design workshop Stéphane Chung and I were giving @ Meet Ze Artists. We were btw using one of Carl Spitzweg's famous postman paintings as reference/inspiration, here.
