Mickey Mouse
One of the world’s most famous cartoon characters, Mickey made his debut in 1928, when Steamboat Willie screened at New York’s Colony Theatre. The film was the first-ever animation to feature synchronised music and sound effects, and marked the start of greater things for the mischievous mouse, whose ‘Oh Boy!’ catchphrase was originally voiced by Walt Disney himself. He has gone on to star in more than 30 films, and has been brought to life by over 50 illustrators and animators.
The Art Of Tim Rogerson
Introduced as a counterpart to lovable Mickey, Donald Duck is celebrated for his bad temper and incomprehensible ramblings. He starred in his first short film, The Wise Little Hen , in 1934 and formed a trio with Mickey and Pluto before branching off into his own films in 1937. Boasting a total of 51 appearances, Donald is also a mascot for several army and air force squads – including the United States Coast Guard. In June 2019, he celebrated his 85th anniversary. Donald Duck
It’s a brave artist who takes on the likes of Disney, Star Wars, Marvel and Hammer Horror, but Ohio-born artist Tim Rogerson takes it in his stride. We’re delighted to present his fantastic range of original and limited edition art, available online and in galleries now.

Following on from collaborations with brands like Gucci, the new project between Disney and Castle Fine Art has been specially curated to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Mickey Mouse. Featuring Mickey Mouse and his long-standing counterpart Donald Duck in a Cubist style and Basquiat colour scheme, the remarqued limited edition artworks are a testament to the lasting legacy of Walt Disney. Their motion brings them to life, as if watching the original animation on a cinema screen. Tim was the perfect choice for the series, as the official artist of Disney’s first-ever D23 Expo in 2009 and Disneyland’s 60th anniversary in 2016. Bringing his childhood adoration of Disney to every brushstroke, he adds: “My father taught me how to draw Mickey when I was five, and I’ve wanted to be a Disney artist ever since. I was hooked.”
