I've had the pleasure of knowing Richard Chavez him since he was a 19 year old kid when we first met way back in our days at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, Missouri. He has since grown into one of the greatest visual development / production design talents of the modern animation industry. If a "Who's Who" exists in this business for uber talents in our community he would be a name at the very top of the list.

He's been behind the scenes in animation in a great many of the biggest and most significant animated productions of the modern era. One of the original 5 Disney artists invited by Jeffrey Katzenberg to form DreamWorks Feature Animation in 1994. He pioneered the Visual Development department at Sony Pictures Animation in 2002. His production credits are stellar.

And finally... FINALLY... He has a website!
