Tony Fernandez - Mickey Mouse Inspired by Michael Jackson...

• Hand Signed by the Artist • Unique Original Artwork from the "Inspired By" Collection • Certificate of Authenticity Included • Ready to Frame Two of the most famous gloved hands in the world finally meet. In this striking original, veteran Disney artist Tony Fernandez transforms Mickey Mouse into Michael Jackson as he appeared on stage during the legendary Dangerous World Tour (1992–1993). Mickey stands still in that famous opening pose, the moment of silence before the music explodes, wearing the black and gold military-style costume with its gleaming golden chest armour, oversized aviator sunglasses, headset microphone and the iconic black loafers with white socks. Every detail is a wink for true fans: the loose black curls falling over the sunglasses, the "M" on the golden belt buckle, now standing for both Michael and Mickey, and of course the white gloves, Mickey's trademark since 1928 and the perfect echo of the King of Pop's legendary single glove. A fitting tribute, as Michael Jackson was a lifelong Disney fan who even starred in his own Disney park attraction, "Captain EO". Painted in acrylic on art paper, the figure is rendered with crisp, polished precision, set against a glowing background of stage lights and soft bokeh that evokes a packed stadium just before the show begins. A rare meeting of two global icons of entertainment, for Disney collectors and Michael Jackson fans alike. ▸ Acrylic on art paper ▸ Format: 48 x 36 cm (unframed) Tony Fernandez is a veteran Disney artist who has been drawing Disney's most beloved characters for more than 35 years and continues to work for Disney in Europe today.
