My Disney work travels further than I do... and it goes around the world!

Through the glory of eBay, I found yet another gem that had my work in it! While it looked exactly like any other version of my Mickey Mouse work (which was printed out the wazoo)... this one was different. 

How was this one different, you ask?  

It was was printed in 2011, in Mumbai, by Disney (India)! On the inside cover, it says that it was for sale only in India. Wow! Someone must have traveled to India in 2011 and brought this back to America with them and eventually put it up on eBay. I bought it last week to add to my archive!

Needless to say, I bought it as it was one of those foreign rarities that had my work and  name in it, and I don't come across that stuff often. I only have a couple pieces like this in my archive so I didn't mind the slightly rough condition of it. It reminded me, yet again, of how far the work I do can go! 

Originally, the Mickey Mouse (and Winnie the Pooh) work I did in America had my art credit on all the early printings. This printed copy from Disney (India) still retained my credit on it, which is rare! Usually once it goes back to the company archive they can remove any credit and the work gets thrown in with all the other art (since Disney owns it all anyway). Yes, some artistic credits remain but it varies here and there. Bendon Publishing, who publishes a lot of my older work in America, doesn't give any artistic credit on anything from what I've seen. Hence, why I bought multiple copies of anything I originally did back when the work was first released!
