Wonders of Space Travel (1954)
SOURCE Dreams of Space - Click here to go to original post
A re-run again. I mentioned this one briefly about a year ago but thought I would share some more scans with you.
http://dreamsofspace.blogspot.com/2010/03/scientific-wonders-1953-wonders-of.html
These were booklets that were enclosed as extras in Lion magazine. This 1954 one reused a lot of the Bonestell and Freeman illustrations from the Collier's magazine series.
Some were re-paintings of famous images.
A lot of very beautiful art for such a small booklet. It even had this great color "center-fold".
I apologize for the lack of posts. there have been a lot less new items in my collection and I haven't had time to do more scans of some of the older ones. Maybe summer will re-inspire me. Here are a couple more pages:
Really beautiful images even if re-printed from another source.

Eyvind Earle- Art for Sleeping Beauty
SOURCE invisible house - Click here to go to original post
"Sleeping Beauty" is by far my favorite animated Disney film, and when I came across these preliminary drawings I knew I had to post them. Eyvind Earle's amazing background art for the film was influenced by everything, from the art of the middle ages to japanese wood block prints. These graphic styles are the perfect backdrop for this beloved fairytale.

Eyvind Earle
DISNEY ANIMATOR
b1916-2000
Born in New York in 1916, Eyvind Earle began his prolific career at the age of ten when his father, Ferdinand Earle, gave him a challenging choice: read 50 pages of a book or paint a picture every day. Earle choose both.
Special Thank you to the talented Michael Humpries for visiting + inspiring us here in Cleveland. He shared wonderful stories about his days at Disney. Here's one of the DISNEY GREATS he spoke of.
At the age of 21, Earle bicycled across country from Hollywood to New York, paying his way by painting 42 watercolors. Earle by the age of 21, came into his own unique style. His oeuvre is characterized by a simplicity, directness and surety of handling.
In 1951 Earle joined Walt Disney studios as an assistant background painter. Earle intrigued Disney in 1953 when he created the look of “Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom” an animated short that won an Academy Award and a Cannes Film Festival Award. Disney kept the artist busy for the rest of decade, painting the settings for such stories as “Peter Pan”, “For Whom the Bulls Toil”, “Working for Peanuts”, “Pigs is Pigs”, “Paul Bunyan” and “Lady and the Tramp”.
Earle was responsible for the styling, background and colors for the highly acclaimed movie “Sleeping Beauty” and gave the movie its magical, medieval look. He also painted the dioramas for Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. He worked at the Disney studios of 15 years until 1966.
