WINTER 2020 37
FIT FOR A QUEEN
Onesimus Nuernberger, a Matte Painter at
DreamWorks Animation, has his pet to thank for his
artistic inspiration: "The artwork I'm selling is inspired
by my dog Geordi (named after Geordi La Forge from
Star Trek). He's very expressive and many people say
he's more like a person than a dog!" The corgi-inspired
apparel (starting at $14 .99), greeting cards ($5) and
prints (starting at $9.99) might be a good choice for
Queen Elizabeth, a corgi enthusiast. Visit lacorgi.co.
FOR THE BUDDING ARTIST
"I really love creating stories within my
artwork and incorporating inspiration
from my everyday life," says Kelsey
Eng, a visual development artist and
background painter. Her art books are
perfect gifts for the budding artist,
offering tutorials inside. Also, check out
her line of pins, keychains and stickers
(from $7; kelseyeng.com/store).
PAGE TO PLANETS
"I'm inspired to create because it allows me to travel
beyond myself," explains Pre-Vis Artist Tom Bruno.
"I yearn to visit fantastic worlds and go on far-off
adventures. Where reality has a ceiling, imagination
is an endless sky of possibilities." To explore the outer
regions of the imagination, Bruno has written In the Orbit
of Sirens ($16.80; tabruno.com), a great gift for that sci-fi reader
in your family.
