Some History:
Tyrus Wong (October 25, 1910 – December 30, 2016) was a Chinese-born American artist. He was a painter, muralist, lithographer, designer and kite maker. As a film production illustrator, Wong worked for Disney and Warner Brothers, including as the lead artist on Disney's 1942 film Bambi. Wong's career ranged from working as a Hallmark greeting card designer, to being aWarner Bros.film production illustrator (1942–1968), including drawing set designs and storyboards for several movies, and an inspirational sketch artist (1938–1941) for Disney. It was his lush pastels that served as inspiration forBambi(1942),[7]where he was the lead artist of the project.[8]His background paintings forBambiwere inspired by Song dynasty classical Chinese paintings.[7]His contribution to the film was largely unknown for several decades.[7] Shortly after finishingBambi, Wong was fired from Disney studios as a consequence of theDisney animators' strike.[7]After leaving Disney, Wong worked atWarner Brothers Studiosfor 26 years as a production illustrator.[9][7] Later, he designed popular greeting cards forHallmark Cards.[10]After retiring in 1968, Wong turned his skills to making colorful kites (usually animals such aspandas,goldfish, orcentipedes). He spent his Saturdays flying his creations on the beach just north of theSanta Monica Pier.
