One of my favorite people at Pixar left for a better opportunity. Although it sucks to see people leave that you enjoy working with, it is always exciting to see people walk through doors that present greater opportunities in their life. Aidan will surely be missed but her future is so bright that our little misfit department just couldn't hold her back any longer.

This piece was created for her to take with her when she left. The turtles from Nemo are some of her favorites so I wanted to create a happy, cheerful piece that would make her smile every time she looked at it. This piece was a lot of fun.
