Due to Jeff's ever-increasing demand for his art at Disney (WOO!!1!), <strong><span style="font-size: large;">we're on an indefinite hiatus</span></strong>. He's been killing it (and himself, keeping up with their crazy workload!) and this half of JeffandCeleste! couldn't be happier for his success. :D<br />

I also spend a lot of my time volunteering for [mostly non-profit] events. </em></div>

</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>Name 3 pop culture influences that effect you and your work currently:</strong> <em>"Archer," "How I Met Your Mother," and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." </em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>One word that best describes how you work:</strong> <em>Organized. I'll map every project out more times than I need to before I can get started. It's a sickness.</em> </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>What do you need in order to work most effectively?</strong> <em>A huge block of uninterrupted time (I have trouble starting if I know I have to stop soon), music or ambient noise, and a self-confident attitude. Also: some sort of computer and/or pen and paper helps, right?</em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>If you weren’t an author, what would you want to be?</strong> <em>An executive director of a [preferably creative and/or my own] business. But if I'm not allowed to be traditionally creative, everyone says I should have been a lawyer. So I guess that.</em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>What everyday thing are you better at than anyone else?</strong> <em>I'm certainly not better than everyone else, but I have a knack for cleaning a room pretty quickly.</em><br />
</div>
<strong>What motivates you?</strong> <em>Other people's success and creativity. I can get competitve.... Also: good weather. I feel like a new person if it's nice out.</em><br />
<br />
<strong>What inspires you?</strong> <em>Art, definitely. Also: bright colors. </em><br />
<br />
<strong>What's the best advice you've ever received?</strong> <em>"Just do it." Yes, it's the Nike slogan, but my mother had ingrained that in us long before Nike entered our lives. I've been able to accomplish a lot without doubting myself, beacuse of that. Also: "Look it up." I asked a million questions as a kid and my parents always responded with that. It helped me establish a knack for research and finding solutions on my own. And of course: "Keep moving forward, or the bus explodes!" Jeff already covered why that one is important. ;)</em><br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fT5hZyRWtfw/STJTbFK1niI/AAAAAAAAAAk/2c6iV_PYgWk/s1600/biopic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" psa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fT5hZyRWtfw/STJTbFK1niI/AAAAAAAAAAk/2c6iV_PYgWk/s1600/biopic.jpg" /></a><strong>What's your current gig:</strong> <em>I'm an illustrator/character designer for Disney Learning which is part of Disney Publishing Worldwide.</em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>Name 3 pop culture influences that effect you and your work currently: </strong><em>Hmmm, I'd have to say Batman, Hulk, and Disney...I don't know if that answers the question. But I have noticed that if I manage to find the time to draw random artwork, if it's not an original idea of mine then I tend to lean towards those topics.</em></div>
<br />
<strong>One word that best describes how you work:</strong> <em>Always or non-stop haha. Does that count? </em><br />
<br />
<strong>What do you need in order to work most effectively?</strong> <em>I definitely need my Cintiq or my tablet and depending on whether or not I'm at home or at work, a great selection of tv shows to have running in the background while I draw.</em><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>If you weren’t an artist, what would you want to be?</strong> <em>I honestly have no idea. I've always wanted to be a Disney artist for as long as I could remember. However, there was a time when I wanted to play professional football as well...but I wanted to work for Disney at the same time sooooo yeah...that wasn't possible haha.</em></div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>What everyday thing are you better at than anyone else?</strong> <em>I'm the best at being Jeffrey Thomas...unless there's an even more awesome Jeffrey Thomas...if there is, I don't wanna know.</em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>What motivates you?</strong> <em>Watching a good movie or tv show or reading a good comic or book always motivates me. It's one of the main reasons I like to have tv shows on while I draw so it can help fuel my imagination.</em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>What inspires you?</strong> <em>I'm inspired by the work of my three favorite artists: Glen Keane, Bruce Timm, and Chuck Jones. </em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>What's the best advice you've ever received?</strong><em> There's actually two bits of advice, the first is best summed up by Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec - "Never half ass two things...whole ass one thing." I use to have a problem trying to decide a focus in my field and because of that I was just okay at a bunch of different art styles. It wasn't until I picked one style to focus on did I manage to become more than okay haha. The second bit of advice is actually something that Celeste and I came up with when combining a Walt Disney quote with the premise for the movie Speed..."Keep moving forward, or the bus explodes!" I think that's pretty self-explanatory haha. Always strive to be the best because if you become complacent and stop you explode...yep.</em></div>
