I'm kind of grossed out by the tag line used to promote the book--Every little girl has a favorite Disney Princess--and for that matter, every grown-up girl, too! Doesn't really work for me since I'm neither, but nonetheless, I am an admirer of the artwork.
Commissioned by Global Disney Consumer Products, each artist was asked to "re-imagine" the Disney princess in their own unique way. The resulting fan art is both fresh and fun.

Some cool pics of The Art of the Disney Princess promotional event hosted at the Zune LA last October...
In an earlier post, see the pencil and digital media Art Nouveau piece by Enrique Pita and Ed Irizarry which was patterned after the work of Alphonse Mucha.
And see even more from The Art of the Disney Princess in this later post.
Frankly, the tagline is a little off-putting even for those of us who were the former and are now the latter. But the book still looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis book has some great art (the faux postcards need to be made), although some of the Princesses are sorely neglected. Thankfully Snow White does not fall into that category!
ReplyDeleteYes, Miss White did fare quite well in the book as compared to some of the other Disney royalty.
