Robin Hood!!

I have fond memories of seeing Robin Hood when I was a kid, so designing these pins was a treat!

Here's a 3 pin set celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the film's release.



And this is a more recent design from last year celebrating Robin Hood's 40th Anniversary. I included almost all of the main characters. A lot of work, but lots of fun!



 This is little Tagalong, part of an Easter series.




 And Skippy is enjoying an ice cream cone! This design was for Disney's Hollywood Studio Store / Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and their Pin Trader Delights (PTDs). You get a pin with the purchase of the Pin Trader Delight Sundae. The PTDs have become extremely popular over the last couple of years. I'll post more later.

Here's a design from a few years ago for Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. It's a fun challenge to work with subject matter that isn't the usual cartoon character.


The recessed metal with translucent fill gives the Nautilus sub a shiny and rich look.

Here's my most recent pin release: Olaf from Frozen in the sorcerer hat that is the symbol for Walt Disney Imagineering, which this pin was designed for. The Characters With Sorcerer Hats series is one that I started several years ago. I haven't designed all of them, but a lot of them. I'm happy to see that the series just keeps going!

Mickey Mouse has always been a favorite Disney character. Here are three pin designs I had fun with!

Combining two favorites, Mickey and Baseball!




Here's classic Mickey as The Brave Little Tailor.




And finally, here's a photograph of Walt framed by Mickey's painting. Mickey is in one of his 1950's forms, which I really like.
