I've had many influences over the years when it comes to my artistic pursuits But I've have to say one of the biggest was Walt Disney the man was a creative genius His imagination was constantly on overdrive Not only did he create the wonderful characters we come to love but he had the genius to create a theme park and was about to create another one when he died in 1966 ( I was only a year old.) I remember as a child Mom,Sis and Me would sit down every Sunday night to watch The Wonderful World of Disney not to mention over the years growing up hearing the stories about what he did it had a big influence on me it taught me not to be afraid to use my imagination something i do to this very day.Of course Walt's influence on me also lead to other influences to my art as well. so as a tribute to my 1st influence to my art i decided to take a stab at one of his greatest creation something i never drew....Until now.So here it is folks my 1st fan art of Mickey Mouse even includes his famous quote he once said when he was asked what was his influence behind Disneyland.
I hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed drawing it.

I was born 6 years after Walt had died, thus I had my entire childhood spent during the Ron Miller run of the Disney Productions and the Michael Eisner-frank Wells-Jeff Katzenburg era was during much of my teenage years. I have watched some of the movies produced by Walt and was exposed to documentaries and books about him and the people who worked for him. I too consider Walt to be a brilliant man and that he and his animators had done a lot of progress for animation and animated storytelling. To this very day one of my favorite cartoons since childhood was Walt's own "101 Dalmations". and to this very day still is one of my favorite Western Animation movies. I also loved "lady and the tramp" due to the beautiful animation and Themes of romance and being faithful. And I just love any good movies/TV shows about dogs. I also loved Walt's earlier short movies, including the surviving ones that stretch back to the black-and-white silent era. They were great to watch. I also like the early Mickey Mouse shorts from the 1920s to about the 1940s or so, which in my opinion were better than the later Mickey shorts. The classic Disney cartoons were very charming and endearing in their entertainment.
