Randomly came across Disney artist Frans Van Lamsweerde in one of those posts that casually boasts, “My father was an artist at Disney.” And my follow up, “What was his name?” Then the unfamiliar name, followed by a Google search. And then, “Holy Cow!” Pictured here are his private Christmas cards.

How amazing! I randomly found him about an hour ago from another appreciation post. He has a style that reminds me of Eyvind Earle. Absolutely gorgeous!

Happy 70th Anniversary, Disneyland! ✨

Julie Andrews once said that Disneyland was "Walt's gift to a weary world," and I believe that is more true now than ever. The world changes - even Walt's small park has and will continue to change - yet Disneyland remains a stalwart beacon of joy and optimism.

It is my understanding that is has already been protected by the LA Conservancy. However, it is a residence and 9 apartments and from what I have gathered there are existing tenants so that would provide incentive to keep it as is and further complications for any change. All good things!
