Since I will be away for part of December, I thought this would be a good opportunity to post some Christmas/Holiday related art. To see other holiday related items, select "Category-Holiday" from the "Content by Category" list on the right.
Let's look at the cover of the December 21, 1995 issue of "Eyes & Ears" for more Christmas Cheer!
Here is a nice rendering from Bambi signed by Don Williams, Head Illustrator for Disney...
Don Williams' Cover Art for "Eyes & Ears" December 1995
I have a number of one-off items by Don Williams. Looking at the warmth of his images, you can understand why he is such a great illustrator.

Don “Ducky” Williams (http://www.disneyguys.com/Ducky/) 12/2/2008:
Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, Don "Ducky" Williams wrote his first letter to Walt Disney at age 10. His desire to be a Disney artist intensified as Don grew up, but had to be put on hold while he spent four years in the U.S. Navy. After his tour of duty, he returned to Massachusetts and became employed at a local savings bank, Don still yearned to be with Disney and spent much of his spare time drawing and painting the Disney characters. After much determination and perseverance, Don left the bank and moved to Florida to pursue his life long dream, which was realized in 1980. Now, after nearly 30 years with Disney's Yellow Shoes, The acclaimed Senior Character artist, Don "Ducky Williams has drawn literally thousands of Disney stars for books, lithographs, brochures, magazine ads, and television.
