rapunzel by glen keane

This is one of our dearest pieces, so it just had to be the first one to be posted. A sketch of Rapunzel by his creator, master Glen Keane.

There’s nothing to say about Glen Keane that hasn’t been said before. He received the Annie Award for character animation, the Winsor McCay Award for lifetime contribution to the field of animation, and in 2013 he was named a Disney Legend. Oh, and in 2017 he won the Academy Award too.

Thanks to a friend, we had the chance to get in touch with Glen on a few occasions. And believe me; every good thing you've heard about him is true. We told him once about this little animation art gallery we had been building for our daughter, and some time later this was in our mail, along with a wonderfully touching handwritten letter from Glen where he talked about Corona's "plus est en vous" motto and how that phrase relates to any children's future, including little Emma :)

Three words; best gift ever!
