Thomas Kinkade Studios unveils two Limited Edition pieces from The Mandalorian™ Collection at Disney Springs. Thomas Kinkade Studios Artist Monte Moore will be making a special weekend appearance at The Art of Disney at Disney Springs, Walt Disney World Resort with The Mandalorian™ Collection. Monte will unveil brand new art in this series and will meet with guests, signing and creating original sketches on purchases from The Mandalorian Collection.
I am going to have my husband, Greg, take this one. You will understand why in a moment. If anyone deserves the opportunity to write about a childhood hero in Monte Moore, Star Wars, and Thomas Kinkade it is him.
Chip and Co were on hand yesterday for Monte’s appearance and had the opportunity to talk with him during his break from his meet and greet session. Clearly, Monte is passionate about working with Thomas Kinkade Studios. It was evident with how he openly talked about himself keeping an open mind to become a better artist by doing this work. Talk with him, when you go to the Art of Disney today, you can tell how much he absolutely loves what he is doing.

Grogu™ and the Mandalorian™ have had quite the
adventure so far, and some harrowing and touching
moments along the way, but up until now Mando’s rules
and code are not to be broken even when it comes to the
Razor Crest™ and especially not playing with the ship’s
knobs. The simple gesture of Mando giving his charge
his favorite distraction shows how far he’s come and
how close he’s grown to his companion as this bonding
moment solidifies their connection. To me this moment
is a culmination thus far of this “lone wolf and cub”
relationship….or even close to a father and son…
I am going to geek out a little now, and we will get back to Thomas Kinkade and the amazing work they have coming out, and the unquestionably talented artist they are bringing to the Art of DIsney in Disney Springs. Including Janet Cairns – Master Highlighter for Thomas Kinkade and Dirk Wunderlich – Thomas Kinkade Legacy Artist.
I grew up with the Art of Dungeons and Dragons, Dragonlance, TSR before they were bought out by Wizards of the Coast prior to them being bought by Hasbro. Importantly, the impact fantasy art had on me was huge. It led me to discover some amazing artists, then comic books, which led to Marvel which led to as an adult loving Graphic Novels. Funny enough, it led me right back to my childhood and Disney art. Along the way, Monte Moore was a pivotal artist for me personally. Through book covers, trading cards to Zenescope, and now I have discovered who this man really is and how pivotal he has been to my life. Now that I am older and can afford real art, here comes Monte again. This time working with Thomas Kinkade on Star Wars Art I can hang up as an adult and be proud of.

In so many classic Western films there are events building
towards a final showdown, and in some of those seminal
moments the gunfighter must ride into town to face
his foe and put his fate to the test. I loved how this was
handled in Chapter 5 as the Mandalorian returns to town
on a dewback to rescue Grogu from his former partner
turned adversary! The streets before him are completely
empty, only light washing out from the doors and
windows to illuminate this moment that, to me, feels very
‘a stranger in town,’ and it’s quite a moment, but also a
visually powerful one!
