What Disney Sidekick did you choose?
 Grumpy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Why did you choose that sidekick? 
Honestly, because of his facial expressions. Plus I think the vinyl works well with the Dwarves shapes.

Favorite Disney Movie?
Tangled....although I do love all the old classics. It's hard to just pick one.

Favorite Disney Theme Park Attraction?
I have so many, but I will have to say Space Mountain.

Favorite aspect of working on the Mickey shaped canvas?
I think the challenge of creating a piece so that you forget it's painted on a Mickey shape. Many people don't even notice the ears at first.

How to purchase: The price of one blind box is $65, including shipping within the US. We’re looking into international shipping right now, but it will probably be another $5-10 if it works out.Paypal is going to be the accepted payment. It is limited to one household per blind box.

What you get: You will get one blind box (yes, I’m actually making boxes) with one of 24 different figures. Some figures come with accessories. You will also get 11 different cards, 1 from each artist.
