* Classic Disney *

Recently my Art Director bought an old Disney book, called the "Art of Walt Disney" for only $1! This book is filled with great sketches, stills, and photos. A lot of the artwork comes from the one and only, Ub Iwerks, an animation pioneer, wizard and a huge inspiration and influence for the way I work. I'll be writing more on him later, but for now I hope you enjoy these scans I made from the book.









Cheers!

P.S. Thanks again Eamon for posting on Shotaro Ishinomori. He's amazing and also a big influence on my work, along with Tezuka, Yokoyama & Toriyama!

Yeah I love this style, especially those gingerbread doods.

Whenever I look at these pictures, I can imagine them all dancing around, like they usually did in the old cartoons.

those skeletons used to really scare me when I was younger. it was from the haunted house, all of them come dancing out of the closet. scary stuff.
