MICKEY MEETS MINNIE SUPPLY DOWNLOAD
Vintage Mickey and Minnie. First created in 1928 they have evolved over the years to encompass all of the frills of AI digital art and film. However, I love the Mickey and Minnie of the 1930's through the 1950's. They were the characters I drew in murals on my little girl's bedroom wall, the characters that I created life size figures of for my son's Marching Band Homecoming float. I love them. I'm not a huge fan of Disney now, but I will never lose my love for the iconic Mickey and Minnie and other Disney characters as Walt envisioned them! Let's meet 1935 Mickey and Minnie.
