Happy Tuesday! Is it really March 1st again? Unbelievable! I didn't want to miss the chance to send along Birthday wishes to Amazing Illustrator/Animator, Visual Development Artist and Childrens book author, Claire Keane, of course her birthday's today!
"You probably know that Claire hails from an artistic family, her "dad is an animator, and her granddad was a cartoonist, and her great granddad drew machine parts for steam engines, her uncle is a cartoonist", and according to her website her two kids are on track to be next in line". Of course Claire was one of the Amazing artists who designed for the Disney movies Tangled, Frozen, and Enchanted. Currently she dedicate's her time to creating her own stories and various collaborations through books and animation at her studio in Venice Beach.
This is a portrait we made of Claire in here studio, for the Artist Within portrait project, have a look around, it's pretty cool!
Happy Birthday Claire!!!
