One Year

Recently was the one year anniversary of my move to California; that's one year at Pixar. It's been busy and challenging and really fun, and I can't say enough nice things about the many generous people I've met here. I feel like I've grown quite a bit, and have thankfully managed to learn a good deal. It's been tough too, but this is the land of opportunity, right? I'm very pleased to be here, and excited for the future, and I'm proud and happy and thankful for all my friends and family. Here's to continued success; to new adventures!

    It's been quite the year, hasn't it. I'm glad to see this update (even if there is a close-up drawing of a girl's bum); I was starting to miss them.

  15. Wow. One whole year. Probably felt like a lot longer, with all that transition and acclimation.

    I'm really glad to have known you Nick. You're an amazingly talented artist, as well as an all-around inspiring person. Keep up the passion, and I hope your work (and blog!) prospers more each year.
