Dear girls, Took you back to our old neighborhood where Naomi spent the first year and few months of her life. Visiting the park there was always a treat for us, but revisiting pictures of Naomi then and seeing how much she's grown is just remarkable. Being there with both of you now stirs up so many feelings. Such a magical journey raising you two. I hope these memories are burned into your minds forever. love Papa, #proudpapa #littlenaomi #milamoon #growinguptoofast
Haven’t shared any art in a while so thought I would share a fun sculpt I recently did. This is my humble take on the legendary Glen Keane’s Tarzan. Did this as a demo for my students at the ArtCenter. Amazing concept to work with. And such a great feeling to see it trending on ArtStation :). #zbrush #tarzan #artstation
Proud of my clan today. #enoughisenough #protectourkids
Team assembled! Super excited to be leading the charge with this amazing group of talented individuals for Trolls2 Modeling! Let’s make this movie! #trolls2 #dreamworksanimation #modelingteam
Dear Naomi, The other day you said to me that when you grow up you are going to be a scientist and learn more than me. You said you are going to teach me everything you learn just like I teach you. Make it so my sunshine. Make it so. Move mountains, stir the oceans, catch the stars. The heights you soar are only bound by your imagination and your willingness to do so. Paint the world of tomorrow in the light that you want it to be - it's already brighter with you in it. I love you with every once of my being Naomi. Happy 6th trip around the sun! love, Papa P.S. If only you knew how much you have already taught me :) #littlenaomi #happy6thbirthday #proudpapa
How is this girl growing up this fast!? #littlenaomi #proudpapa
Not bad for a kid with a humble beginning :). Very grateful, but even more so proud. #dreamworksanimation #10yearanniversary #proud
This woman changed my life 10 years ago with that call from DreamWorks. Forever grateful @mackey_kim8. #dreamworksanimation
“I want to be little forever.” - Mila You’ll always be Papa’s baby girl. And the one who completed this family. Happy 3 years Our little moon 🌙 ❤️ Love Papa #milamoon #happybirthday #3yearsold #proudpapa
What a trooper. In preparation for The Last Jedi, my wife spent the past couple of weeks doing a Star Wars marathon so we can experience it together. Chewbacca hat and all, I think she’s ready :). #starwars #thelastjedi #bestwifeever
Dear girls, Remember these days always. Love Papa
Thankful. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! #mygirls #littlenaomi #milamoon
Yes, I look like a giant Ewok even though I was meant to be Chewbacca. The things I do for my girls. #happyhalloween #starwars #littlenaomi #milamoon
Super excited to be leading the charge for the Modeling team on this one and to be working with such a stellar group of artists! #DreamWorksTrolls #DreamWorksAnimation #nbcuniversal
Thank you @artstationhq for adding some of my work to the staff picks section! Supercool :). If you look closely you’ll see a little yellow dragon (design from @creaturebox ), a girl with orange hair (based off of Mel Milton’s wonderful design), my Bunny model from ‘Rise of the Guardians’ (concept by the amazing @timmylamb ) and various work I did from ‘How To Train Your Dragon’. More to come :) #artstation #dreamworksanimation #zbrush https://www.artstation.com/artwork?sorting=picks
Walked into the bathroom and needless to say, this put a big smile on my face :). #proudpapa #bathtoys #littlenaomi #milamoon #starwars

Celebrating Spring with my chicks 🐥 🌼
Happy Birthday to the one and only @fin_yohannes who’s had my back since we were 10! Love you more than I can express sissy and so thankful for your friendship. Hope this year brings you everything you desire sprinkled in with a few visits from me! 💕
Lots of big questions came from Naomi the day before the march. She doesn’t watch TV other than streamed shows so not aware of the whole picture but we talked ahead of time about the cause without the harsh details. It was really hard to talk about this stuff with a six year old. I wish we could keep them in their magical childhood bubble forever but that’s not realistic. That said, I’m so glad they got to experience the magic of people coming together today to impact change ✊ #marchforourlives #strongertogether

Still celebrating this girl turning six. I love our Disney tradition and this time was even more special with Riley and Elliott. 💕 Happy almost Birthday Elliott! 🎂🎂
It truly takes a village. Feeling all the feels today and thankful for all of your support, love and inspiration on this parenting journey. Could not do this without you all 💕 I don’t have pictures with all of you but you know who you are!!! 👁👁
A big thank you to all of our dear friends who made yesterday so very special 💖
6! Happy 6th Birthday my sweet girl. You bring so much light, goodness and positivity into the world. I sometimes wonder who’s learning more from who. Thank you for choosing me to be your mama as it’s truly magical to see you bloom. Stay curious, thoughtful and kind, keep dancing everyday, continue to save insects, always listen to your heart, keep treasuring the sun spots, wonder about the stars, love your sister unconditionally, spend time in nature and let’s make sure we slow down this year because you are growing up way too fast for my mama heart. Love you my sun child 💛

Hard to believe my little Naomi is turning 6 in about a week. I still remember how sweet her little bald head smelled when I kissed it ❤️💔❤️
So so proud of this girl for receiving the Kindness Award at school today! ❤️
A little shout out to my Valentine for yesterday’s gift ❤️ Applebee’s apron because that’s where we first met 20 years ago 🍎😂 #itsalongstory
