Fine Art at D23

Disney had it's third annual D23 convention and it was a delight not only to Disney fans but for appreciators of fine art.  There were numerous fine artists featured, displaying their works with a Disney theme.  My favorite had to be the folks at Acme Art. Their tonal quality and color really captured the essence of  Disney characters. Marvel comics made it's debut with a wonderful presentation by the head of Marvel talking about it's history and it's future with Disney.  The one person I really wanted to see, John Lasseter, was impossible to view unless you stood in line for hours. He was speaking on the new Cars land in California Adventures.  The equivalent of  watching Thomas Edison talking about the light bulb. Or Walt Disney himself talking about his upcoming theme park. I was sorry to miss him.
What I thought most interesting was the Disney Corporate display that featured the incredible community work Disney participates in.  There was a opportunity to send letters to servicemen and women. Build a box for the red cross amongst other service projects.
D23 comes around every two years, so make your reservations now for 2013!
