See this TITLE: A Disney Sketchbook



Imagine if one sketchbook had been passed down through the decades from one Disney animator to the next, with each one making a contribution before leaving it in the talented hands of another artist. That idea was the inspiration for A Disney Sketchbook. The drawings contained within it represent the entire range of animation development, from the origins of ideas to fully conceived characters. Pencil studies of a much-younger Wendy and a serpentlike sea witch reveal the many imaginative iterations that animators create before they ultimately perfect every hero and villain. And comprehensive studies of Mickey and Baloo showcase the dedication that goes into defining the facial expressions and body language of each beloved character.

Films and shorts from throughout the history of the company are featured—beginning with Steamboat Willie and ending with Tangled—demonstrating the ingenuity and skill that have remained a constant at Walt Disney Animation Studios since 1928.

See this TITLE: Sketchbook: A Memoir of the 1930s and the Northwest School



William Cumming began as a self-taught artist who grew up in Tukwila, a small town outside Seattle. In 1937, at the age of twenty, he met Morris Graves, who was at that time working in Seattle for the Federal Art project of the Works Progress Administration. Through Graves he soon became part of the circle of friends who came to be known as the Northwest School of artists: Mark Tobey, then nearing fifty, the patriarchal leader of the group; Kenneth Callahan and his wife Margaret, a writer and critic who became Cumming’s particular mentor; Guy Anderson, Lubin Petric, and others. He has taught for many years at the Art Institute of Seattle and Cornish College of the Arts.

“Bill Cumming is at once an exceptional and successful regional artist and one of the most erudite, perceptive, and entertainingly cantankerous characters in this part of the world. [He] tells what it was like to be an artist in the Great Depression, tells tales out of school about such international luminaries as Mark Tobey and Morris Graves, tells how the Northwest School (of which he was the youngest member) developed, tells about the early success — and ultimate failure — of the Communist movement in the Far West, and shows how the political, economic, and cultural events of a half-century affected the life of a region and of its creative minority.

Cumming is a natural raconteur, equipped with more literary wit and charm than most professional writers.” — Tom Robbins “Besides being one of the Northwest’s best painters, Bill Cumming has certainly had a knack for being, historically speaking, in the right place at the right time. Beyond being good local history, his Sketchbook is a moving, sometimes chillingly perceptive, and certainly fascinating glimpse into the nature of artists themselves.” — Wesley Wehr

Each beast is unique. They are all handmade using special techniques including, needle felting, moulding plastics and sculpting.

Unicorns are a symbol of imagination, wandering minds returning to childhood, a love of the familiar & fear of the unknown.

The unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. In European folklore, the unicorn is often depicted as a white horse-like or goat-like animal with a long horn and cloven hooves (sometimes a goat’s beard).
For some 13th century French authors such as Thibaut of Champagne and Richard de Fournival, the lover is attracted to his lady as the unicorn is to the virgin.

In heraldry the unicorn is best known as the symbol of Scotland.

Is there basis in reality for the unicorn? Some mythologists suggest this creature is based on the extinct rhinocerus species Elasmotherium, a huge Eurasian mammal native to the steppes, south of the range of the woolly rhinoceros of Ice Age Europe.

The unicorn is even mentioned in the King James version of the Bible nine times.

Unicorns often have the power to heal physical and emotional wounds through the tip of its horn. The blood of a Unicorn can be used to keep a person who is near death alive, but the recipient will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches its lips. Magic comes with a price!

The unicorn can be ridden like a regular horse and used as a free mount.

Want to capture a wild unicorn? Made gentle by the sight of a virgin, the unicorn can be lured to lay its head in her lap, and in this docile mood, the maiden may secure it with a golden rope.

Unicorns may enter your dreams in order to give messages and offer guidance, especially when you are feeling confused and having difficulty making decisions.

Many of these horse-like animals live near rainbows, and traverse the global rainbow network as a way to quickly get where they want to go.

Unicorns have been discussed and given mythical status for centuries now, in religious texts, travel observations, and even ancient academic papers.

And is this true, unicorns did exist? An extinct Siberian unicorn species may have lived alongside humans, fossil suggests – a newly found skull, which was remarkably well-preserved, was found in the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan. This suggests the unicorn may have made its last stand in the frozen wilds of Russia – having died out a mere 29,000 years ago.
