Aaron Blaise loves drawing and painting animals! From an artistic perspective, animals and nature in general were the first things he started drawing. He remembers sitting in the garage with my father as a little six year old drawing pictures of the ducks in his field guide books as he carved his decoys. By age seven he knew most every species of duck in North America. Later when he moved to Florida he fell in love with the wildness of the state. Aaron lived in a little trailer out just north of the Everglades near Corkscrew Swamp which was his wilderness paradise. During most of his youth he was drawing, painting, tracking and photographing the wildlife in and around our area. He always had his sketchbooks and paints and just couldn’t get enough of it.
He graduated from the Ringling College of Art with a certificate in Illustration in 1989 and was hired by Walt Disney Feature Animation where he worked for 21 years helping to create some of the greatest animated films ever made. He worked as an animator or supervising animator on “The Rescuers Down Under”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Aladdin”, “The Lion King”, “Pocahontas”, “Mulan” and I was co-director of “Brother Bear” of which earned an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature Film. Since “Brother Bear” he helped to develop several projects but ultimately left Disney to pursue an opportunity back home in Florida to help start up a new animation studio called Tradition Studios. During the two and a half year life that the studio had they developed several feature film ideas. But it was a film about a little African Elephant that took root. It was called “The Legend of Tembo” and it was shaping up to become a beautiful story and visually stunning film. Like many start ups though, the company he worked for ran out of funds, went bankrupt, and he found myself without a job.
The loss of my job as an animation director though has been shaping up to become one of the greatest opportunities of his life. After reviving his painting career and launched his new website, he was ready to see what the future might hold.
Creating images of the amazing creatures that we share our Earth with is his greatest pleasure he coped for in a career.
