The Art of Eyvind Earle

Eyvind Earle was an artist and illustrator for early Disney animated films. He is best known for Sleeping Beauty. I discovered his work at an exhibit in Toronto and purchased a monograph shortly after. In addition to Disney he also created some beautiful Christian works. For years I had wanted to do a three wise men banner and when one was commissioned by a very good client, I turned to Eyvind Earle’s art for inspiration for the faces which are heavily stylized but still expressive.
