Both his character and environment designs for film have been published in books, including "The Art of Monsters Inc.", "The Art of The Incredibles" and "The Art of Finding Nemo". A number of his paintings and drawings were also selected for exhibition at MOMA in New York as part of a Pixar Art retrospective.
