One of my pieces for PEABODY and SHERMAN.

Dreamworks announced the Peabody and Sherman feature film in this weeks issue of Entertainment Weekly, and they happened to include one of my early concept paintings of Mr. Peabody himself. Right there next to Robert Downey Jr. (the voice of the smartest dog on earth).

Peabody and Sherman was actually the first project I came to Dreamworks to help develop. There is much more development work by some very talented artists that I'm sure you'll be seeing in an art of Peabody and Sherman book sometime soon. The original 1960s concept of the worlds smartest dog, his boy, and a TIME MACHINE made this film so much fun to explore and play with!

I remember seeing this up on cartoon brew. You did such an awesome job translating the flat design into a turn-able character while retaining the charm. I only hope the whole film looks this good!
Oh this just made me incredibly happy. I had only heard rumors until just now. Can't wait for more images to be released! Great work!
Very cool stuff. Can't wait to see the movie.
Fabulous news! Love the Mr. Peabody design, RDJ will make him live! Something fun to really look forward to.
