Story At Sea.

I can't believe it's already been almost a month since my last post--a lot has happened, obviously, including, I'm happy to say, a little bout of painting. As Ronnie mentions here, our Story department had a little art auction, which took place this afternoon. Nearly everyone contributed, and it was very well attended. A lot of fun, surprising and exciting. Here are two of my three:


These were based on a character of Justin Wright's--an old salty dog, who he used to sketch while we were on Ratatouille.

  1. Nick, your paintings and their subject matter were some of my favourites! I'm sure Justin would have been honoured.

    You're right up there with the very best, as we all saw last night. Bravo!
