I did the artwork for the "Sleeping Beauty Proposal".

- And I'm actually Sleeping Beauty. (laughs)

- So Sthuthi and I met our freshmen year of high school.

She was taking a dance class at the time,

all the dance classes have their final performance

and I was taking a stage craft class at the time.

I thought he was kind of a weird guy in the corner,

somebody in the sound booth just like cranked the music

just ran on the stage and just started dancing,

Somehow I got dragged out of the wings onto stage,

And naturally I was like "Well, I gotta do something here."

Which at the time seemed like a good idea.

- Two seconds later realized there thorns in that rose.

- It was such a special and memorable moment

you'll see that in that frame where we're dancing together

I actually, my character has a little rose in his mouth

- And that's actually truly how we met and started dating.

- So I guess that our story begins a few years back

and a friend of mine told me that he was thinking about

And we were just sort of sitting there talking

The idea popped into my head pretty much fully formed.

He's sitting there with his significant other

like green screen composited into the shot is him.

And just a moment for her would be like feels kinda magical,

And then it would Segway to a real life proposal

It's like magical being animated into your favorite movie.

And he thought about it and he's like you know honestly

that doesn't feel like it would be right for us.

And so I sort of filed that idea away for later,

you know it seemed like there was something there.

Maybe I could get some mileage out of it yet.

about taking the next step in our relationship.

My head of course went to, how am I gonna do it?

Eventually I sort of resurfaced that idea.

What if I put myself into her favorite movie

The problem was her favorite movie is "Sleeping Beauty",

and I just sorted of scrubbing through it

I got to the end where Prince Phillip comes in,

And I noticed that the whole scene was pretty static

It had to be something that could be seamless

Which is like, that's as good as it gets.

I eventually made my way to Kayla Coombs.

- I thought what have I gotten myself into here,

Lee sent me an email just out of the blue.

"Would you be available or willing to do some artwork
