Still-Lifes of WDCC Art
~ Perhaps it was the oil pastels which created a 'painting' look or perhaps
it was because he had grown up knowing these Disney characters, but Douglas' style of drawing
these porcelain pieces seemed to compliment them in a way people had not come across before.
~ Douglas' one hundred and one percent unauthorized homage to this fine art sculpture series
began when he started creating backdrops from the films to go with the pieces he owned
and ended up drawing the actual sculptures in still-life studies using oil pastels, as he would
any other inanimate object. After putting one or two up on eBay any time he had not listed the prints,
Douglas received emails asking the likes of, "Can you put this one up again?" or "Have you drawn this figurine?".
One Buyer called Earl from Sacramento, CA, called Douglas
"an extraordinary artist with depth and emotion... whose vision
breathes new life into old friends... wonderful interpretations of classic Disney!" *
~ In 2009 Douglas was commissioned to draw a WDCC sculpture by an authorized Walt Disney
Classics Collection dealer in England and is excited about more doors opening soon.
Douglas understands that he may have brought these renderings 'to the table' in an unorthodox manner
and has always been ready to give whatever kind of credit may be due in whatever
is the expected, honorable way.
The fine art prints available to buy in this online gallery
are museum / gallery quality and would make great additions
to your home decor and are ideal as gifts
