In 2000, Dice was employed as a visual development/color key artist for Blue Sky Studios where he stayed until 2010 when he joined Pixar before leaving in 2014 to start Tonko House.

Books

Dice has appeared in both volumes of Blue Sky Studios Out of Picture anthology, contributing the stories "Noche Y Dia" in Volume 1[3] and "The Dream of Kyosuke" in Volume 2[4].

The Dam Keeper is being developed into a two volume graphic novel published at First Second Books[5] : The Dam Keeper (2017)[6] and The Dam Keeper: World Without Darkness (2018)[7].

Special projects

In 2008, Dice (along with Ronnie del Carmen.

This initiative also produced a corresponding art book reprinting the various pieces contributed and included the likes of James Jean, Charles Vess, Iain McCaig and William Joyce among others[9].

He is also overseeing Sketchtravel (with Gerald Guerlais) which purpose is passing a reel sketchbook "from one artist's hand to another like an Olympic torch in an artistic relay through 12 countries over 4 and half years", and the end result auctioned off to benefit the various chosen charities that the participating artists choose[10].
