Pinch hitting for James Jean? What an honor when the best creative director in the biz Eric Skillman called me to do the interior tri-fold discpak for Guillermo Del Toro and Mark Gustafson's Criterion Collection release of Pinocchio. James' insane poster serves at the cover art and he was busy hanging his insane show in Shenzen at the time so I was called in for the additional art. Remember, this film won the Oscar for best animated feature last year! Back to James Jean, he was my hero when I was in school so even being considered to sub for him is crazy to me. You can see the mind of Eric Skillman in image 3 where he mocked up his plan. The last image is an inside baseball peak at additional bleed that needed to be added. I'll post a clip of the whole fold out in action when I get one. Thank you thank you to all involved and Gris Grimly who's also a hero of mine and who's 2003 Pinocchio book was their inspiration and he exec produced too.
