Above is a sketch for an unused Walt Disney Studio greeting
card created by an uncredited artist in the early 1930s.
Over 70 years later, Jody completes the final painting which, in turn, is published by Disney as a boxed set of greeting cards.
It's not easy to mimic vintage paint techniques, but I think Jody did a very convincing job, making it look as though the final art had actually been completed in the 1930s.

He totally nailed it.
Nailed is right; before reading the description I assumed it was vintage!
He can handle gouache like the "old masters". By the way, notice that on the concept sketch "Greetings" is misspelled as "Greetngs"!
The inking on the painted version is perfect.
Fabulous! Now where can we buy these cards?
I love vintage Mickey!
Kevin, I like your new Flickr thumbnail photo feature on your blog. I just saw the picture of the "Return to Oz" puppet offer ad---Oh my gosh! I have never seen those before!
Thanks Dan, I own a set of those hand puppets! The Gump has arms and Tik Tok is furry, but who's complaining? They're great!
Simply gorgeous. Me want!
Absolutely love Jody`s interpretation - bang on! I especially love the fact he did the lower face shading on the faces...just like they were portrayed in the very early 1930s. The original almost looks like Floyd Gottfredson`s work. Check out this image on my blog: http://vintagedisneymemorabilia.blogspot.com/2009/12/1st-disney-studio-christmas-card-1930.html
Wow!
Where was the original card found?
I came to visit your blog. Congratulations.
I invite you to visit my blog too. In it there are good Brazilian music, Brazilian modern dance and more.
