I DREW THAT: Zazzle x D23 2026

 

A selection of items are available on Zazzle featuring the exclusive character art that I created for D23 now splashed across their 2026 everything; or perhaps they’re on the D23 site offered through Zazzle. The Print-On-Demand platform features Mickey, Miss Piggy, the Mad Hatter and The Sun Bonnets on shirts, drink ware and other items. I don’t know how long these have been available. 

I don’t know if other characters are waiting in the wings to be featured on merchandize. I also don’t know if these are D23 Gold Member Exclusive items. All I can say is order it while you can and keep an eye open for more in the future.

I DREW THAT- D23 Gold Member 2026 Branding

 

It’s a remarkable honor to have contributed this year to D23 look. D23, the official Disney fan club changes its branding look in subtle ways that still engages its fan community. The branding applies across most of the elements that reach the fans including membership cards, display banners, and not the least of which pins. I drew as many as 17 pieces of character art for the D23 group. We’ll see as the year progress which of them pop up and in what variety of uses.

 

A lot of the character choices in the mix give nods to significant anniversaries celebrated by the many characters, movies and theme park icons that Disney is famous for. 

 

Among the items in the Gold Member gift kit are a members card and certificate, a commemorative Mickey Mouse pin celebrating “Thru the Mirror” 1936 short, collectible magnet featuring Pluto, $25 event discount and D23 Disney Lorcana card.

This year, higher level membership offer additional premium gifts including a a few items featuring some of my art: a 10-piece pin set and a RSVLTS x Disney Shirt.

Here, I share 14 of the characters that I created for D23.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (No. 1)
Mickey Mouse (Thru the Mirror, 1936, 90yr)
Cruella De Vil (One Hundred and One Dalmatians, 1961, 65yr)
Pluto the pup 

Daisy Duck
Pua (Moana, 2016, 10yr)
Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland, 1961, 65yr)
James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (Monsters, Inc., 2001, 25)

Dory (Finding Dory, 2016, 10yr)
Sun Bonnets (Country Bear Jamboree, 1971, 55yr)
Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog (The Great Muppet Caper, 1981, 45yr)

Lightning McQueen (Cars, 2006, 20yr)
Mickey Mouse (No.2) (Thru the Mirror, 1930, 90yr)

 The style that D23 had me apply to the characters is an extension of what I’ve been doing on my ongoing series of sticky note sketches. I describer it as something honoring 1930’s newspaper clip art or “Monopoly Man” art. It incorporates bold line work and clear silhouettes. It sometimes has rubber-hose arms and legs. It never fusses with making sure shapes are closed off to define spaces to drop in color.

 

What I Drew Wednesday, Oct 13 - Disney Parks

Day No. 13

A second consecutive night, with a mere two sketches produced. This is because I needed the time to concentrate on other things.

#39, pp. 78-79 - Gonzo / the monorail / watching fireworks: @mannysmyname / Jeff S. / @motheroffreels

Is this the most surprising mix up sketch of this series?

Gonzo being a small figure enclosed in a large monorail train provides its own challenge. Fireworks in the mix adds a logistical challenge. If it isn’t clear, the monorail isn’t pink. It’s bathed in the glow of magenta fireworks seen reflected in the train’s window.

3x hidden Mickeys.

#40, pp. 80-81 - The cast of Splash Mountain / on Safari / for Ronto wraps: @spanky.bear / @caitlinfogartyart / Nicole P.

That “sausage taco” that Br’er Rabbit has is a Ronto Wrap that’s exclusively available at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The gang is loaded on a Safari truck that tours the Kilimanjaro Safaris in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

I don’t think that Fox and Bear know what they would do if they found a Ronto.

2x hidden Mickeys.

With this set of two sketches, conveniently there remains a final ten. The only thing different about the final ten is that I can count them on my fingers.
