Only thing I have so far, but a set of stretching paintings are on the list since WDL annual visit is right around the corner.
The board just censored out his link. I got to it.Hey Mooniteman your blog is down.
Over a month ago I ordered one of the Haunted Mansion Tightrope Girl Portraits from the Print on Demand kiosk at Disneyland.
It was a little over $40 for a "28 X 17" print and I've wanted this portrait for years - so it that was a small price.
From the very beginning though this transaction was a pile of steaming poo.
First off - my experience with the cashier was unfathomable - it inexplicably took her over a half hour to ring me up because she had no idea what she was doing, as well as the other folk that helped her. I can't even tell you what the hold up as - it was like watching several ducks trying to figure out a door handle....
Whatever.
So after ordering they sent me a tracking number... according to the USPS site, they still haven't received my package. Reassuring.
But today I got it ! My Glorious 17 X 28 poster !
....wait....
Why does it look like crap ?
I know this is a terrible photo - but LOOK AT ALL THE WHITE !
Aside from the fact that it looks like it was printed with my ass - it's extremely soft and appears to of been printed on a home printer.
The actual measurements are 7 X 23... wtf. Last time I checked - copious amounts of empty space do not count as part of the damn print !
That's like buying a car and someone saying - "There is room for 20 passengers" - Then when you buy it - you ask - 'so where do the other passengers go ?' and they say 'Well you can obviously just strap them to the roof !"
Needless to say - I will be giving Disney's Print on Demand Service a piece of my mind come Monday.
Oh yeah - whomever the hell Heather Kasden is - I have your poster. You can thank Disney for your accurate delivery !

Re: Haunted Mansion props, pieces and inspiration.
I know in the actual Mansion the curtains are blue and red, but I think I will use a dark desaturate green, but still going for a velvet fabric, since green would have a nice contrast with the lilac/purple walls
For the lights I will use only a single ceiling lamp (hoping to replace it soon with a decent chandelier, if not, no problem, it's still quite nice! ), and probaly a new desk lamp (not to mention the black light I'll try to conceal to make the glowing effects I have in mind! )
but a proper "mood" lighting would be great, like small blue and green spotlights in the right places, and very dim light for the room itself
I would love to find a cheap projector, that would really make some nice effect and bring some life into the room!
thank you for that did you paint in all the eyes by hand@TechDante
At the bottom of this post is my own personal version of the Demon Pattern - made mostly for printing out and using as a stencil - at the time it was the most accurate version I could make - but given the picture immediately below it may not so much be the case any more.
But feel free to steal it and share ! Share and share alike ! My Large pic is attached at the bottom
