Hello friends! 

This week I’ve got a new World Turtle to share with you. (I haven’t posted one of these for years!)

I’m still riding on the highs on visiting the place where magic gets real and have been going through the thousands of photos my brother and I took and thought that since I enjoyed Disneyland so much I’d recreate the castle and add it to my collection of illustrations!

Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty Castle) at Disneyland Paris is considered to be the prettiest Disney castle due to its unique, fairytale design, walk-through gallery with Sleeping Beauty stained glass windows, and the La Tanière du where the dragon lives in the dungeon beneath the castle. I also love the square trees that surround the disney landmark – it looks so much like the 1959 film.

So, my latest illustration is titled A Disneyland World Turtle and sitting happily atop the turtle floating gently through space is the prettiest fairytale castle ever to exist! I’ve tried to keep the colours inline with the 1959 movie, lots of pink (obviously) with blue turrets, gold details and the iconic square trees.
