Eyvind Earle Concept Art For The Castle in Sleeping Beauty

Eyvind Earle Concept Art For The Castle in Sleeping Beauty 

My apologies for how sparse this blog has been lately and I'm aware that I need to get it together over here.  I have been trying to get into Tumblr a little bit and that is taking some of the extra time I normally spend here.  Hopefully I can find a way to use both platforms and will update soon.  In the meantime, don't forget to stop by my Tumblr at House of Summersville.  Thanks for bearing with me while I work some kinks out.  Thanks!

If you like the Eyvind Earle artwork for Sleeping Beauty, you may want to check out a couple of the art books from Stuart Ng.  Most of the ones listed are pretty expensive but if you can spare $350 for concept art, apparently this is the book that will be worth it.  I don't personally own this book yet but I aspire to and it has the reviews for it are phenomenal all around.

The Disney That Never Was. Concept Art by Mary Blair For Penelope And The Twelve Months

It's can be fun to speculate about what might have been when looking back to all the Disney stories and characters that Disney never got off the drawing board.  The projects get shelved for a variety of reasons all the time but that doesn't mean that the artwork left behind has not value.  Penelope And The Twelve Months is certainly more well know when compared to other lost projects within the studio partly because it's linked with Mary Blair.  Her concept art in this case is stunning as always and I hope you will enjoy getting a glimpse of what might have been.
