I'd love your help spreading the word: I'm available for animation and design work! I help make animated productions better - whether it's through animation, character design, directing... usually a combination of all of them! I am just as comfortable leading a team as I am getting my hands dirty. If you, or someone you know needs someone who can make stuff look good, give me a call. I'm open to studio or freelance work. Check out my website for more: https://www.kendallnelsonart.com/

I made this from paper... but behind the scenes are some k’nex! Stay tuned for more!

We saw the poppies yesterday up in the Antelope Valley. If you have the chance to go, do it! Even with a screeching baby, and parking worse than Disneyland, it was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever experienced. . . . . #california #californiapoppies #prismacolor #gouache https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsGKEwhFj5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wl4ejbf27qo8

A while ago a got an animation desk off the curb, and I've been slowly restoring it. I'm really happy with how it's turning out! (In fact, I used it to ink this very drawing.)⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #animation #inkdrawing #handdrawn https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZhoEblZsq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lxix9a0oe8nf

It’s down to the wire, but better late than never! Happy Holidays from the Nelson family to you!

I had to sneak out the garage for a few nights while she was sleeping to get it done, but I made some wall art for my wife @jacquelinemillernelson for Christmas! https://www.instagram.com/p/BsB2q0EB8Bb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l8ftq1y6sdny

#toystoryland - day 2. This is my Hamm next to the Jeff Pidgeon original. Watch for it when you’re standing in line for Toy Story Mania. (And follow the instructions!) #toystory #disneyworld

[kendallnelsonart]

Toy Story Land is open today in Florida! I designed and animated the queue videos for a few of the rides. This is a peek of the Alien Swirling Saucers.

Here's a little animation I tossed together to celebrate the Matterhorn Bobsleds' 55th birthday! (and of course, by "tossed together" I mean "worked really hard on"...) More like it coming soon!

[kendallnelsonart]

My favorite ride ever. Sequel to this Matterhorn poster. I hope you like it!

Space Mountain! Check out two other peaks in my Disneyland mountain series: Matterhorn and Big Thunder Mountain!

One more day of campaignin’. Every single thing Donald Trump has done since entering the race serves as proof that he’s morally, temperamentally, and intellectually unfit to be president. Vote for Hillary and help dismiss this fraud once and for all.
