I bought art!
Now we all know the only art worth any sort of while is Disney related art.
I bought 5 prints and spent way too much on them. I could have a really, really nice watch right now in their place. Whatever, I enjoy looking at them on my wall. They make me feel good and happy so I guess that means they were worth it.
2 are from a series, 2 are from another series and 1 stands alone. The Epcot Art Festival really got its claws into me.
The first two are from what I am calling my Space Mountain collection:
I wasn't sure which one I liked better so I bought both. Pluto is awesome! I mean Mickey is cool, but Pluto is the best. And I have them on my wall in such a way that they take off from the Space Mountain base and then you see them flying around, having fun in space. Good times!
Next up is the classic rides collection:
Star Tours still exists in Hollywood Studios but it was in place long before Disney owned Star Wars. Horizons is the real draw of this collection. Man I loved that ride. Mission: Space is now the ride where it was originally and while I also like that ride it's nowhere near as cool as Horizons. Classic 80's/early 90's Epcot.
Oh and check out the picture in between the two artworks...it's Hendrik and I (I was probably like 4) in matching Epcot sweatshirts at Disney. Hmm...I wonder why I have such a Disney obsession?
I'll talk about the 5th piece in another post. I got to talk to the artist of that piece for like 15 mins. It was cool.
