simonsoup Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Today I watched and enjoyed Pixar's Onward, and in the credits I spotted Peter Chan. He's uploaded oodles of his typically wonderful concept art (possibly more than you might find in the Art Of... book) to his portfolio site, here. Some spoilery stuff, although a lot of the images are fascinating roads not taken by the film – clearly from early on in the story development. Here are three of my favourite drawings: His art just has this wonderful energy that's still exciting me almost 30 years after I first encountered it. It turns out he also worked on Monsters University, which was news to me. I knew about Steve Purcell's work on Brave and a few other things. Whilst I'm here I might as well post the best episode of the DFA documentary, including the inspiring visit to Peter's home on San Juan Island: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I LOVE Peter Chan’s work. I feel the remasters haven’t always been as slavishly devoted to his art in the way I think it’s deserved, sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Dude's a genius, no doubt about it. We rightly worship his work on various Schafer-led titles, but his concept art for Insecticide is not to be slept on, either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knolll Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I went on holiday to the San Juan islands four years ago all because of that DFA documentary episode. It's a lovely area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATMachine Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Mike Stemmle on today's livestream mentioned that Peter Chan is doing concept art for the new Sam and Max VR game, which is exciting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
