February 2020 series...

Truth be told, I have been living in Florida ten years now and it FINALLY happened.

I became a 'Disney girl'.  

All these years my friends were always going.  I went a time or two, but I was never one of those Disney-crazed folks.

Until I was.

So based on this newfound love for the Disney parks (fueled by the upgrade to passholders- that's when you know you are in it!)...yeah, so based on that I decided to dedicate my February 2020 series to Disney.

The evolution of becoming a Disney freak, starring me and my man...and guest enablers Sof, Siddhi and even my own sister!

Now, this ain't my first rodeo with the Disney art.  My first Disney-themed series was back in March 2015.  I was working with my 'big eyed gals' and I looked to the different 'princesses' as my inspiration- and even other characters, too- but in a female persona.  As the series progressed I did included some 'Disney Duos', like Ariel and Ursula- those were fun.  And of course, because I am 'extra' I did some extra pieces- a side series I called my 'Disney Noir' series.  That group of works focused on the 'bad girls' and I worked with acrylic on black paper.

I revisited Disney again in December 2017- this time with a FASHION twist. Each day I created a fashion illustration based on the same characters as my first series.  I used the original costumes as the inspiration for each garment, changing it up a little bit but keeping the iconic features to make them recognizable.
​

Which brings me to my 2020 version.  For this month I will be recreating the same pieces, in the same order, but updating each 'lewkk'.  Also- I am a sucker for holidays, so I decided to make this series in 'Valentine's Day' colors- pinks and reds, just 'cause.

​Here are the first three pieces;
