Case Study: Tokyo Disneyland Ambassador Hotel
Problem: Theme two signature rooms with murals and design elements from Lilo & Stitch, and Chip & Dale.
Solution: I brought Tim Kirk's wonderful concepts to life in murals, posters and wood inlaid headboards. I also developed and illustrated characters for wallpaper and etched glass elements.

Posters
Tim Kirk is one of my favorite people to work with. His designs are original, funny, well-researched, and cute. He came up with the ideas and rough compositions for most of these images. He made my job easy!
I painted these digitally in Photoshop, and inked the characters in Illustrator.

Signature Map Illustration
Another of Tim Kirk's brilliant designs. As it so happened, I vacationed in Kaua'i during this project, so I was able to visit Hanapepe and imagine Lilo & Stitch in their hometown!
Glass Etching
I developed character details for the bathroom mirrors and shower doors.
Figurative Touches
Disney guests expect an extra level of detail - so we provided that in hidden characters in the wallpaper.
The Result
The Tokyo Disneyland team created fun themed rooms for both sets of characters, and I was glad to play a part in their process.
