Good Friday Afternoon, MISFITS!!!
What are everyone's weekend plans???
Sara, your art work is lovely. Did you study art in college?
My son, Mike graduated college ('08) with an Art History degree and loves all fields of art and graphic arts BUT at the same time, its hard to find work in that field. He is now in law school.
But his passion is and always will be the ARTS. He was the Manager of an art restoration firm here in SoCal (Irvine) for the two years after graduation. He became good friends with
Tony Baxter as when they had all the fires in SoCal our first year here ('08), Tony was running out of his home and grabbed his special commemorative statue
Disneyland gave him for Big Thunder Mountain RR, he DROPPED IT, so he brought it to Mike to have the artists repair it.
Here is his write up in Wiki:
Tony Baxter is currently Senior Vice President, Creative Development, Walt Disney Imagineering, and is responsible for overall creative direction for the Disneyland Resort.
Growing up in Southern California, Baxter started his career at Disneyland at age 17, scooping ice cream on Main Street, U.S.A..[1] After several years of odd jobs at the park, he garnered attention through a portfolio of attraction concepts and was hired at WED Enterprises (now known as Walt Disney Imagineering), where he has remained since. His roles on his first projects were relatively minor, but he was eventually given extensive creative control of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which debuted at Disneyland in 1979, at Walt Disney World in 1980, and later at Disneyland Paris in 1992.[1] After this, he continued to be assigned high-level roles in Imagineering projects.
Other projects that Baxter was responsible for include:
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Opened in 1979)
Re-design of Disneyland's Fantasyland (Opened in 1983)
The Original Journey Into Imagination Pavilion (Opened in 1983)
The Disney Gallery (Opened in 1987)
