John’s time with the Walt Disney company includes work as a story artist for 1997’s Hercules,1999’s Tarzan, and Toy Story 2.  Beyond the world of animation, John has also worked in the field of theme park design, including for Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland.  Other accomplishments include designing floats for the Pasadena Rose Parade (also known as the Tournament of Roses Parade).  I will link to his website in the show notes which includes storyboards, concept designs, and more from projects around the world.
