My Name Is Dug by Ronnie del Carmen

Merchandise News UP

Ronnie del Carmen, the famed Pixarian known for his story and design work on such films as Finding Nemo and most recently Up shares some information and pictures about his new book, My Name Is Dug.

He’s always wanted to illustrate a children’s book and when the opportunity came around he submitted rough drawings and got the job! In his spare time, between his day job at Pixar, he would work with author Kiki Thorpe to plan out the book. That’s how My Name is Dug came to be, it’s a Where’s Waldo type picture book:

"Children will love helping Dug on his search for Kevin, who will be cleverly hidden on each spread, in this adorable picture book based on the upcoming Disney/Pixar film, Up."
Read the full synopsis here.

Ronnie shares some very beautiful pictures of his book over at his blog.
