Google honors Mary Blair on its front page!

[Just People]

The the "Google" doodle is done in Mary Blair's style. Cool!

Today is her birthday and would have been 100 years old!

I saw that and rushed over here to be the first to post, but alas, not in time.

If you click on the doodle, you'll got to some news stories about here.

How awesome. I love her artwork.

Thank you google for doing this.

I saw that too.

Disney certainly wouldn't be the same without her.

I came over to tell everyone too! Very cool. One of my favorite "old school" WDW memories is seeing that huge southwest-themed mural inside the CR. Love her work.

Love this! Just unpacked my 'small world' teapot and mugs last night...doesn't get much better for me when you can combine Mary Blair and tea! I was so happy to find the set and to get it home in one piece!

I bought my set at 'The Art of Disney' at Epcot...first thing I did on my way in! I don't recall seeing them at WoD when I was there, but being that I'm reaching overload after about 10 minutes of being in that store I can't say for certain that they aren't there.

I don't think you can order them online but I will look for the product code because you could call and order them directly from WDW. I'll check later on tonight. The store did a great job of packing them for me.

Again...Love them!!!

I was at work today and needed to search for something so I pulled up Google...I saw the Mary Blair doodle and said aloud to myself "Hunh, Mary Blair would be 100 today" My neighbour asked who she was and thought it was strange/funny/typical that I would know who she was...apparently I'm quite a Disney "nut" (not in a good way).

Sigh...

You're in good company!!!

Did anyone press the link ? What happened ?

Agreed. It was a great surprise. The link took you to a page with other links to wikipedia and some others.
