How gorgeous! 😍

Randomly came across Disney artist Frans Van Lamsweerde in one of those posts that casually boasts, “My father was an artist at Disney.” And my follow up, “What was his name?” Then the unfamiliar name, followed by a Google search. And then, “Holy Cow!” Pictured here are his private Christmas cards.

How amazing! I randomly found him about an hour ago from another appreciation post. He has a style that reminds me of Eyvind Earle. Absolutely gorgeous!

Wow! Sam this is amazing! I had no idea this was your work! You really rocked this one!

Happy 70th Anniversary, Disneyland! ✨

Julie Andrews once said that Disneyland was "Walt's gift to a weary world," and I believe that is more true now than ever. The world changes - even Walt's small park has and will continue to change - yet Disneyland remains a stalwart beacon of joy and optimism.

You know you’ve crafted an amazing joke when a normal Disney fact makes someone(me) laugh. Thanks for spreading comedy and keeping this gag alive @hamjenkins.bsky.social !

Me zooming in to see what Disneyland record is in the chandelier. “It’s a small world” in case you are wondering. 😁

Cover of a phone book with a cool midcentury illustration of a cutaway view of a house with various family members in each room, each talking on the phone.

Close up of the cutaway view of the house illustration with the daughter in the upstairs room, mom in the kitchen (it's 1960, so OF COURSE), and the son in the living room.

They want to erase the heroic deeds of Black Americans, women, people of color and LGBTQ individuals.

Looks like Gustaf Tenngren! He was the master of moody at the time. His use of light and dark was gorgeous. 😍 #disney #disneyhistory #disneyanimation #pinocchio

It is my understanding that is has already been protected by the LA Conservancy. However, it is a residence and 9 apartments and from what I have gathered there are existing tenants so that would provide incentive to keep it as is and further complications for any change. All good things!
