Artist's Comments

Last year, Pixar lost a member of its creative team. While it is tragic, it is comforting to know that he will live on in his work and the memories of those who knew him.

I know that voice-over wasn't the only service that Joe Ranft provided for Pixar, but I thought it would be the best visual way to show some of what he's done. But just so that his other accomplisments aren't forgotten; he worked on the story of "A Bug's Life," was story supervisor on "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2," was a story artist on "Monsters, Inc.," and was co-director of "Cars," among many other things. To read the rest, click here.

I know he also voiced the Peterbilt in "Cars," but I thought putting him in there might make it to cluttered. Wheezy looks a lot better than the last time I sketched him. I gave Joe Ranft a "Cars" print t-shirt because that was the movie they dedicated to him. And I'm really, really happy with how this turned out.

All characters seen here are (c) Pixar and brilliantly voiced by Joe Ranft.
Rest in peace, Joe Ranft. You made a lot of people smile.

What's a miracle, if life itself is not?

Jacques is one of my all-time favorite animated characters. I wish I could draw him as well as you did.

Rest in Peace, Joe :cry:

Amazing! You did a kick ass job.

*sighs* What a loss. Joe was a wonderful person, artist, and dear friend at Pixar. I miss him so much.

Yes, yes it is. But we will always remember him, and thanks to DVD magic, we can always see him!

Thank you! This is the best I've ever sketched him.

Isn't Corpse Bride also dedicated to his Memory? I got it off of his Wikipedia Entry.
