COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

My New Ride

In 1936, designer O. Ray Courtney took a 1930 Henderson and modified it into the streamlined style you see here; which is obviously a 3D rendering image; some real photos of this very ride you can find right over here. (Thanks, Laura)

Antboy

This is so totally my cup of tea. I'm a huge fan of Scandinavian story-telling, it has this certain feel to it. It's hard to explain what it is, but easy to understand :-)
