Monsters Inc by Grant Gilliland
What is it about Monsters, Inc. that so inspires our PixArt artists? Perhaps it is the film’s creativity because the film has definitely been a popular choice on our PixArt page and we continue to be impressed by the artwork we have received!

Celebrating Joe Ranft by Andy Wilhite
Joe Ranft was talented enough when it came to storyboarding, but his skill did not stop there. He also crafted voices for some of Pixar’s most memorable characters – Wheezy in Toy Story 2, Jacques in Finding Nemo, and of course Heimlich in A Bug’s Life. As Heimlich, Ranft raised character humor to a whole new level of hilarity.
“Slow down you flowers! Oh, CANDY CORN! Here, let me help you to finish it!” is a Heimlich line that still has us laughing hysterically over 10 years later.
Today’s tribute to the late, great Joe Ranft continues with this wonderful Heimlich piece from San Diego Artist Andy Wilhite. We’re big fans of Andy’s beautifully designed characters and t-shirt designs. His use of color and negative space is a constant inspiration. Check out his flickr account for more great images. You can also find him on Threadless where many of his awesome designs are for sale. Thanks to Andy for contributing this adorable piece to our celebration of Ranft’s birthday!

We hope to see more from this fun artist. Read on for more about him in his own words.

Checkmate by Chris Chua
As today is the 25th Anniversary of Pixar Animation Studios, we wanted to run a special edition of PixArt to celebrate. Now, we are absolutely thrilled to present a piece by Chris Chua, an animator at Pixar. Since he joined the storied studio a few years ago, Chris has worked on films WALL-E and Up. Last week, we got a look at a turntable video for Cars 2 character, Carla Veloso, which Chris animated.
We asked Chris a few questions about his evolution into an animator, his time at Pixar, and his influences. Read on to go on a journey through the mind of a great Pixar animator!
