Tyrus Wong: the last living 'Bambi' artist

[princebambi]

The last of the artists who made Disney's 'Bambi' one of the great visual cinematic masterpieces of all time turned 103 this year. Although he is best known for his background art for 'Bambi', Tyrus Wong's time with Disney accounted for only a small fraction of his lifetime of distinguished work.

Child emigre, 1919.

I LOVE that photo of him! It just screams "Dude! 'Sup?"

He seems like a very awesome guy... wow...

Really liking that horse on paper - so dynamic! Quite inspirational.

Can't say I'd mind a bedroom like that, either. ^_^

" Happy to see those plush pandas (and a bunny!) in such prominent places of honor!"

What a view! I'd turn the bed to face that wall :o)
