He, somewhat proudly, never finished a major at any of the colleges he attended.
Enrico started his career in animation in New York City working for several TV Animation studios and projects in different capacities. He then landed a position at Blue Sky Studios, storyboarding for 20th Century Fox’s ICE AGE.
Enrico moved to San Francisco in 2001 where he’s been since working at Pixar Animation Studios as a story artist on movies like Ratatouille, Up and Cars2. In his free time he has drawn comics, made art books and started an international drawing Marathon event: SketchCrawl.

-" In trying to do a piece for a show that honours Japan, I started out by thinking of all my favourite Japanese cartoon characters, which is where my love of Japanese culture began (Cartoons is where my love of America began too, incidentally). After a few days of doodling I ended up with this image; MY version of two Japanese Cartoon icons, at the beginning of a beautiful relationship." - James Baker

Title:
“Together”

Soosa Kim is this crazy Japanese artist friend of mine.
He works for Namco as a concept/CG artist.
He’s the man with stories. Anyone who knows him would know what I mean.
Next time you go out with him, ask him about his Yakuza experience and the stories from his male host days. I heard his stories many times but I still laugh my head off when I hear them.
The poetic story attached to his work , reflecting his fun and interesting personality will suck you in to his world!

In that same trip we also went to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Seas. Spectacular. And yet throughout that trip all I wanted to do was to be on the streets of Tokyo and meet the people, visit friends and see the neighborhoods again.
Japan is my Disneyland. I wish for all to be well and a swift recovery." -Ronnie
