The Mickey Mouse Club is 70 years old today. Through the years, we’ve had the fun of creating a lot of art and merchandise to celebrate the television program which debuted on October 3, 1955. Here’s an original hand-painted tribute by Jody for the Mouseketeers’ 55th anniversary in 2010.

Welcome to Lord Henry’s Mystic Manor, our latest commissioned piece for an ardent admirer of the dark ride attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland. Our one-of-a-kind dimensional miniature is wood and colorful acrylic paints with some metallic layers for a little extra magic. We loved working on this.✨

Another recent commission: Small World wooden toys that are also portrait caricatures of the real-life couple that commissioned them! The cowboy spinning his rope has teensy handmade spectacles, and the little German lass is holding a salted pretzel. A lot of fun to make!

Us in 1996 at the Kon-Tiki in Tucson, Arizona. We asked the bartender if we could keep a drink menu, and we still have it! 🍹🩵🍹

We are astonished to be honored by the Walt Disney Archives as “Archives Angels”. Everything we’ve ever accomplished as Disney designers and historians over the past 30+ years has relied on the holdings of the Disney Studio’s Archives and the support of its incredible Staff.

The summer wind, came blowin’ in from across the sea. We just completed a commissioned “wall artwork” for a special Tiki lover. It’s Tangaroa-Ru, the East Wind! She’s a tall 32-inches, and built entirely of wood. We’re loving all the fun requests we’ve been getting!

These fabulous fellows dropped by our studio recently for minor repairs and a cleanup. This is the original “park statue” prop from Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando. The attraction opened in 1971 and closed forever in 1998, already almost thirty years ago.

We just finished another commission at our Anaheim studio which includes this hand-carved one-of-a-kind wooden perch. There’s more to it, of course, which we’ll show you later! 🦜

A merry member of the band from our “Pirates of the Caribbean” series of figures for Disneyland Paris. The concertina-player in his long red coat has always been a favorite!

The devil is in the details. This “hellish homie” is about to spend their eternity in a miniature diorama underworld. Hand painted paperboard and carved wood.

“Anything for you, Mary Poppins!” A little hand-painted wood sculpture we did awhile ago (sold, by the way). Part of a series inspired by Mary Blair’s work.

Yesterday we met one of our favorite actresses of all time, Margaret O’Brien—who played the wonderful “Tootie” in “Meet Me in St Louis” with Judy Garland. What a treat! There’s a terrific movie poster show at the MUZEO in downtown Anaheim which ends next week—Go see it if you can!

A relic from the late 1980s, I think. Mixed emotions of fun business travels in my youth, and memories of struggling to draw decent lips on the Little Mermaid.

Behind-the-scenes with the stop-motion puppet designed and sculpted for “The Donn of Tiki”. The filmmakers are currently looking for a distributor. Have you been able to see it at a special screening or film festival yet? It turned out beautifully!
