Pixar used to be a division of LucasFilm. I wonder if there's still a certain relation, perhaps only between staff members oe something.

As far as I know Purcell is an illustrator doing artwork for John Lasseter's upcoming film Cars. I think it's very similar to what he did at ILM's Feature Film division - namely creating and fleshing out character designs, location designs, and other concept work. Of course, I heard he was doing that about two years ago so maybe he's moved on to a different project or different job within Cars at this point.
As a slightly silly aside, he told me a while back that he recorded a scratch voice for one of the characters too, and as anyone who's watched the special features on a Pixar DVD knows, sometimes the employee scratch tracks end up in the final film, so there's also a very small chance that you'll hear Purcell in the film.

Too much coffee and too little sleep. I hope that's a satisfying enough explanation. --Erwin

Back on topic, I find it rather bizarre that all these somewhat famous people (or at least, people whose names I know) live like, right near me. My boyfriend lived in San Rafael (home of LucasArts and former home of Pixar) until recently when we moved in together in SF. I spent every weekend there. I could have stood behind Steve Purcell in line at Starbucks and never would have known it. :eek: (Okay, maybe that wasn't on topic after all, but if you knew what my day was like today you wouldn't blame me...) |

Yeah its weird. I grew up in Petaluma and played all the LEC games and loved them, and also knew Skywalker Ranch was just 15 minutes down the road, but I didn't really put 2 and 2 together until someone mentioned that Steve Purcell dropped off a bunch of Sam & Max shirts at our local comic store, and then I found out he lived like 4 blocks from me...
