In 1962 he moved to Imagineering, working on Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Haunted Mansion. Packed with never before collected original art. Disney Group Book, 2019....More.

LEONARDO 2
Highly Recommended. By Stéphane Levallois. Planet Earth, engaged in an intergalactic conflict, owes its salvation to the clone of Leonardo da Vinci and to the rebirth of his genius. Levallois draws from the painted and drawn work of the Renaissance master, combined with his own highly original art (along the lines of Bill Sienkiewicz), selecting original drawings and paintings by Leonardo to represent the characters, vessels or even the architectures in his story. The grand scale result is impressive...Leonardo’s visions successfully projected into a stunning futuristic sci-fi graphic novel. From France. NBM, 2020....More.
