purchasing custom drawn characters

[teresa kay]

My husband is a coal miner and we would like to purchase a drawing of Grumpy for him during our next trip (Dec 16-23). I have never really paid attention to where these can be purchased. Counting on all you to point me in the right direction. Thanks!!

First 2 that come to mind are the art store at Down Town Disney and the art store in Epcot.

You can purchase drawings of characters in the store in Cinderella's Castle. I can't remember the name of the store right now, though. I had an artist draw a picture of Donald and Daisy for me. I love it! I'm sure they'd have pictures they could do of Grumpy, too!

what are the approx costs associated with this type of souvenier?

I don't really remember what they cost exactly. I think it was $30-40 for one character in the drawing, and it was maybe $50-60 for two characters. It may have been a little more or less than those figures but I think I'm in the right price range.

Last year, I had the artist at the art store in DTD do a color picture of Ysma (sp?) from The Emperor's New Groove. I think it was around $60 for the color one and less for just a black & white.
They can also do it in different sizes too. The smaller ones were less. I think mine was 11x14. (I had forgotten about it until now and haven't had it framed yet because I also bought the 4 HM stretching room prints...$$$ to get framed)
Also, unless you have it shipped home, don't wait until your last day to order it as it takes a while to be drawn and may not be ready the same day. Mine wasn't and I had to go pick it up another day.
