<span style="font-size: large;">Words escape me right now, except just to say that I am very proud to have been a part of the WDCC for these past 20 years and grateful for all the friends I have made at Disney and Enesco. There aren't many jobs out there that are as fun, as creative and as inspiring as working with all the great people at Disney/Enesco has been. I've been a pretty lucky fella.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've had to keep quiet on this since November, but today I am proud to announce the arrival of <b>Enesco's</b> <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">NEW</span></i> Grand Jester</b> pieces designed by yours truly! The six new pieces feature a rope slingin' <b>"Two Gun Mickey"</b>, <b>"Donald Duck"</b> in all his temperamental malevolence, Snow White's fiercely villainous <b>"Evil Queen"</b>, everyone's favorite OFFICIAL conscience <b>"Jiminy Cricket"</b>, an underwater beauty<b> "Ariel"</b>, and a beheaded <b>"Cheshire Cat"</b>!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What makes these six new pieces so special for me is the fact that not only did I get to sculpt four of the busts, but I was given the opportunity to design all six of them as well. This is my first time designing for <b>Enesco</b> and the<b> Grand Jester</b> pieces and I was thoroughly enthusiastic to step up to the task. I hope <b>Disney</b> fans will be as excited with these six new <b>Grand Jester</b> collectibles as we were creating them.</span><br />

Playfully paradoxical and unequivocally quizzical, this phantasmagorical feline delights in defying logic and the laws of physics with his detachable head and discorporeal smile. Standing 7 ½” tall, the Cheshire Cat bust is designed and sculpted by Patrick Romandy-Simmons and comes painted and ready to display. Grab ahold of this character-authentic, polystone mini-bust before it vanishes completely!</b></span></b></span></div>

The pictures were taken prior to cleaning up the sculpture so you'll notice some tooling marks. The <b>"Field Mouse"</b> was a combination of polymer clay and an oil based/wax clay called <b>"Monster Clay"</b>...<i>YES</i>, it's called <b>MONSTER CLAY</b>! LOL. Once the piece was approved by WDCC Art Director, <b>Dave Pacheco</b>, I then finished the sculpture by cleaning it up and baking it in my kitchen oven. After the piece is baked I hand it over to our <i><b>very</b></i> talented mold maker, <b>Doug Hild</b>, and my part in the production of the figurine is done.</span><br />
