Years ago (right around summer 2011), I saw this amazing art piece as someone's avatar on a Pixar site fan forum. I had no idea if it was fan made or an official piece of Disney·Pixar art. I also had no idea who the name of the artist was and no idea what the name of the print was called. It just said "Danny" in the corner. It was many months later of searching that I finally came an image on Google and it led me to a page with official info! It turned out to be a pretty limited (1000 reproductions made) and official Disney Fine Art print by Pixar character artist/set designer Daniel Arriaga! It's called "The Pixar Storyline." A certificate of authenticity was included.
Because of the price, I never expected to get it, but Christmas 2011 I got a HUGE surprise from my wife (then fiance) Brita! I was SO excited and to this day it's still my favorite piece of Pixar art I've seen representing each of the first 11 movies. I just love the minimal style, the colors and designs. The feel of each film is captured perfectly. It's not framed yet but it will looks even cooler once it is!

After all these years of this amazing print sitting in its poster tube, it's now framed and hung proudly front and center on my new Pixar home office wall! Check it out...
This is absolutely amazing! I've seen the wallpapers like this, which use images from the movies, and I've even made one myself, but this is just... I can't even describe it! The simplicity of the art makes it so much better!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it incredible!? I remember when I first saw it a few years back and I couldn't stop thinking about how I needed that : ) I was SO exited when I got it! You should look around online and see if you can find one for a good price! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment! Every day I update it with a piece from my Pixar collection!
ReplyDeleteand yes the simplicity is what makes this piece so fantastic! I love the minimal style. My fave Pixar art to date!
