I was contacted by Thank You Walt Disney to donate a piece for the Animation & Imagination Show benefiting the preservation and restoration of Walt Disney's original Laugh-o-gram Studio in Kansas City. Of course, I was very excited to be a part of this great event and help out with something so important -so I said ok!

Done for a co-worker leaving Disney who hooked me up with tons of used decks to paint on when I ran out of my own. His name is Denny but everyone calls him Danny as a joke -hence the Danny on the worn out ears. This is a vintage Powell Peralta ripper deck that one was one of Denny's first decks back in the day. I knew from the begining didn't want to paint over it completely, so I let the areas that would have been dark on Mickey just be the original graphic of the board -scratches and all!

Custom painted 9" Vinylmation and custom wooden box. Sold at D-Street this year during Festival of the Masters Weekend. Had fun making this little guy and shot a time lapse in my studio of the whole process. Take a look at the video below from the Disney Parks Blog for a little more on that.

Hope you can come by, say hi and pick one up at the festival this year! If you haven't seen, here is a look at how the ones turned out last year that sold out: http://bit.ly/mhYdNP

Love walking around with my travel size watercolor Moleskin and Windsor & Newton travel watercolor set and just stopping for a few minutes here and there when something catches my eye. Watch out, you can get lost in it and next thing you know it's been like 5 hours, but it is awesome. So take some time every now and then to stop and smell the roses– and draw them too.

With the help of Adam Voigt, aka Hobo press, (a friend and co-worker at Yellow Shoes who built a custom screen printing set-up in his garage) this year I was able to hand print these pieces of art for the Festival of the Masters art event at Downtown Disney. The original art I drew with a Sharpie on Graphics 360 marker paper and scanned into the computer in order to output the film and then burn the screens. After that we mixed up some custom Grey, Blue and Red ink (and used straight Black from Speedball) and started pulling prints. The whole process took about 15 -20 hours spread over a couple of days. It was definitely worth it and a great experience. Can't wait to do the next one!
