Destination Vinylmation: How long have you been a vinylmation fan?
Scott Bortz: When I first saw a vinylmation I loved what they stood for and saw the potential of what this could become. I started collecting for my daughter when they first came out and haven't stopped since.
DV: What's your favorite Disney artist Vinylmation?
SB: I do not have a favorite Disney artist of vinylmation. I enjoy seeing what artist's will come up with next.
DV: What background do you have in the arts?
SB: I graduated from Kutztown University in 1989 with a BS in art education. I am currently a middle school art teacher in the Allentown School District, Pennsylvania. Since graduating I have been working on sports related artwork in scratch board medium and painting on bats and footballs images of players.
DV: Are you a Flyers fan?
SB: I am a hockey, baseball, and football fan, and yes I am a flyers fan! Go Flyers!
DV: Where did you come up with the idea for this custom?
SB: I decided to create a custom vinylmation for the 2012 Winter Classic because for my love of hockey and the Philadelphia Flyers. I first created some sketches and found images of what the final uniforms would look like. Next I decided to use the number 28 for mickey. Claude Giroux wears number 28, so I next found images of his equipment that he used for that game and the rest can be seen in the images. I tried to get everything exactly how it looked on game day right down to the skates on his feet. This is my first custom but I will be doing many more in the future.
DV: Will we see more in the future?
SB: I will be starting on a Boston Red Sox Fenway 100 years vinylmation and a Pittsburg Pirates vinylmation soon. As soon as I get them done I will send pictures to this sight.
DV: How do people find you online?
SB: I am not set up online yet, but will be there soon.
