I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with Disney World. I have put my original Layered Imagery onto 3- D 9" Vinylmation Mickeys. (See a trend here with the 3-D with the martini glasses also?). Vinylmation is a very popular collectible item, just like the Beanie Baby craze in the 90's.Most of these dolls are decorated by in house Disney artists with a particular theme such as the Haunted House or Pirates of the Caribbean. Disney has a handful of outside artists such as myself making our own art onto the dolls.
My designs started with the Daffodil and Sunflower themes focusing on the Flower Show that is at Disney World every year. And then I decided to create other images such as the birds, seaturtle and dogs (the dogs of course being the most popular). Within every doll there are many hidden images of that same subject or other Vinylmation collectible dolls when you look closely. Notice how I have the paper stick out in various places on each doll creating more of a 3 dimensional effect. It was a challenge for me to glue paper onto a 3-D object with out causing the paper to crease but I did a great job and I loved working on them!
The dolls are on display and for sale for $750.00 each at the D-Street Gallery at Disney World.
