Artist Paul Conrad: Concept & Finished Art from Pixar’s UP
Artist Paul Conrad has posted some art he did when he worked on UP, again, the great dedication and attention to detail … for instance, all the examples of the airline tickets Carl & Ellie never get to use that he presented to pick from … something that is on screen for a few seconds …
Or every one of Russell’s badges – carefully designed so you don’t question the little dude earned them all …
Notice the Squirrel self defense badge? 🙂
What’s the hat and handlebar mustache one? Bare knuckles boxing? Sarsaparilla making? And obviously the Ball with a Star is a CGI Animated Short making badge …
🙂
Or you have to make a few dozens of old school bottle cap tops to choose from … otherwise UP is ruined ENTIRELY. 🙂
If you click on the front page, you can see the evolution of his other ideas from scratch to concept to finish – fun stuff (unless you’re a budding artist, then it might make you sad. 🙂 ).

No way; Russel got a badge for stormchasing?!? Second row below the bare spot, center badge between the artist’s palette and the bow & arrow.
Somebody tell Reed Timmer he’s got some more competition!
Up! is definitely one of my fav Pixar productions. I still have the little folded box figures for Russel and Carl sitting on top of my computer, so cute.
I have the DMR Grape Soda Pin that is in the velvet lined box. None of the above concept art ones look like it.
What is the significance (if any) of seat 21B?
Also, the soda caps would make for a great pop quiz: Quick, which one did Carl pin onto Russell?
maybe paul conrad likes the medical droid from empire strikes back (2-1B)
Amazing… how do you come up with all of this neat stuff?
