Disney's The Haunted Mansion
By Dan-O Florez
Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion! I am your host, your ghost host. Kindly step all the way in please and make room for everyone. There's no turning back now.
Our tour begins here in this gallery where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state.

A nice shot of both shoes. Thanks for sharing photos of your shoes with your many followers.
Many clients request the wallpaper from the mansion to be incorporated into the shoe design.

Or TOMS
Marc Davis Original concept artwork is always a great inspiration for me when painting Disney themed shoes.
All our ghosts have been dying to meet you! This one can hardly contain himself!

Perhaps Madame Leota can establish contact. She has a remarkable head for materializing the disembodied.
When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake,
Spooks come out for a swinging wake!
Happy haunts materialize, and begin to vocalize.
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!

Happy haunts materialize, and begin to vocalize.
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!
Now don't close your eyes and don't try to hide,
For a silly spook may sit by your side.
Shrouded in a daft disguise, they pretend to terrorize.
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!
As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree,
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree.
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes start to shriek and harmonize.

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell,
weird glows gleam where spirits dwell.
Restless bones etherealize, rise as spooks of every size!
Ah, there you are, and just in time! There's a little matter I forgot to mention. Beware of hitchhiking ghosts! They have selected you to fill our quota, and they'll haunt you until you return! Now I will raise the safety bar, and a ghost will follow you home!
Hurry back! Hurry back! Be sure to bring your death certificate, if you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now! We've been dying to have you!

Permanecer Sentados Por Favor
By Dan-O Florez
What better way to start off Monday than with the Matterhorn?
A few months ago I came up with an idea to post a "mystery Matterhorn"listing in my shop. The listing was for a custom painted pair of TOMS themed to the Matterhorn. The catch was that the buyer did not get to know what the design was until it arrived at their door. Being that this is kind of risky for any buyer I offered the listing at $95 (TOMS shoes cost $50 so I would be doing the artwork for $45 considering how many hours it takes to paint a pair of shoes, I was working for peanuts.) This listing was really because I wanted to do the design and get it out into the world. I already had an idea in my head of what the design would entail but I wasn't 100% on all the details.
I started by looking up photos of Matterhorn signage and found this sign that gets used when the ride is down for refurbishments. As you can see above I used that as a basis for an image I created to be used on T-shirts.
Here is a series of photos showing the progression of the mountain as it was painted. Starting with gray, white, and lastly adding in the green trees, and yellow/white sun, and red border.
What Matterhorn inspired artwork would be complete without an appearance from Harold the yeti?
Because of the various shades and shadowing needed for Harold's fur, I used a combination of a creamy light brown and white to give it that messy hair kind of look.
You may have noticed in the photos just above that I painted the sides white with orange and pink stripes. That inspiration came from these photos of an older Matterhorn.
Added small Yeti foot print to the outer heel of the shoe. Placing a small object on the outer heel to the side of the TOMS tag has become a signature element in many of my Disney inspired designs
This design can be ordered in my webstore at DanOFlorez..com
Until next time, please remain seated and keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times.
