Mary Blair’s art has inspired me for a very long time, but I do not always. Whether through my golden book he is portrayed, or Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, I was conscious of his illustrations in color and so at an early age.
It was a trip to Disneyland as a fourth class and get to see, It’s Small World, the greatest impact my art does. This is actually a photo I have just found – I’ve made one of my visits to Disneyland as a child (I only went a few times). I’m not really sure what year, but in the 80s. This really knocked my socks Small World & I often think how I can try to reconstruct (when listening to recordings Disney of course).
As an adult I still enjoy her illustrations and creative vision, along with Small World It’s even more appreciated. Happy Birthday to Mary Blair-100!
