I was invited to be a part of the inaugural show at the Disney WonderGround Gallery in the Downtown Disney district of the Disneyland resort. I was asked to do a Mickey themed piece and a Pixar theme piece, and I got to choose which Pixar film to do. Opening June 9, the gallery is showcasing unique takes on Disney-Pixar films and Mickey Mouse by more than 25 artists.
I was very lucky to get to work on a piece inspired by Monsters, Inc— one of my favorite parts of the movie is Monstropolis itself, so I decided to illustrate the long walk to work with Boo in disguise.
I’m so thrilled to be a part of this! If you’re in the area, there will be special events and artist signings at the opening so do go and see it in person!
It’s easy to be a jaded artist. It’s easy to be a distant artist. I resent the claim that those of us who are not jaded somehow had it easy in becoming not jaded. I find it difficult to show sentiment and vulnerability, especially when today’s open media finds people who love to use vulnerability…
