Eyvind Earle
Had a chance over the weekend to rekindle my love for the work of a man who I consider to be one of the most dynamic and talented artist/designers of all time, Eyvind Earle. My first exposure to his work came through the Disney movie Sleeping Beauty, in which he painted many of the backgrounds (in fact, he was a prolific Disney artists for many years). His stylized, abstracted representation of elements has always inspired me as a designer. His paintings manage to evoke an emotional response, for me, related to being transported to fantastic and dramatic environments.

Enjoy!
