Donald Duck, Donkey
MEDIUM: Original Production Drawing
IMAGE SIZE: 12" x 9.5"
PRODUCTION: Mickey's Polo Team, 1936
SKU: CCV3025
ABOUT THE FILM: An uncooperative Donkey gives Donald Duck a hard time in this wonderful model drawing from the 1936 Disney short Mickey's Polo Team. The David Hand-directed short saw Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goody, and the Big Bad Wolf going against a team of Hollywood stars from the era, Lauren and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, and Harpo Marx. Featured on a 12-field 5-peghole animation sheet, this hilarious image of Donald pushing his donkey, similar to the one seen at the 6:29 mark of the short, features the characters rendered in graphite and showing notes and details with red pencil. A note in graphite is seen on the bottom right corner that reads "Model Tracing Heumer," possibly referring to animator Dick Huemer.
ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Original production drawings are one-of-a-kind pieces of art that were used in the creation of an animated film or television show. Each has been hand-drawn by studio artists!

ABOUT:
Tom Everhart is a celebrated American painter whose work uniquely bridges the worlds of fine art and popular culture through his exclusive use of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters. Initially trained at Yale School of Art and later mentored by Schulz himself, Everhart transitioned from traditional illustration and architectural rendering to a bold, expressive painting style after a life-altering battle with cancer in the late 1980s.
"The "Posing" series did grow out of the previous "Hide and Seek" series that focused on the questions of one's attempt to hide their intellectual honesty in order to seek out a newly designed image... a "Poser" tsunami of posturing between who was being real, and who was obviously pretending to be real, often with the intent to deceive, could no longer be ignored." - Tom Everhart
