Collab Artist Reveal, + WIP Background Painting
Added 2025-11-26 19:42:40 +0000 UTCSo,
For Sunsets, I had mentioned awhile back that I'm collaborating––in concept and execution––with another artist.
This artist is George Varodi! I know some of you are familiar with his work and have even worked with him on his current animated film, but he is best known for doing layout on the works of Alberto Mielgo.
The painting you see above is done by him!
George and I met in Cannes about a year ago when I invited him as my guest to a large annual film festival, and we have become good friends since.
I met him in New York earlier this year, and we wanted to create a short piece of animation together in preparation for a larger piece that we are co-writing.
This
is how the concept behind Sunsets came to be! It was his photos from a restaurant in the country of Georgia that inspired the background.
While I am focusing entirely on the 3D side, George is working on the background painting that will be implemented into the scene.
The painting is not yet finished, but I wanted to share the WIP so far.
I'm excited to share the final piece when it's complete, and I encourage you to check out his work on Instagram at @georgevarodi !
Comments
nice!
