[Text by Amberle Ferrian] "A Very Plushie Christmas" (bbbxmas.gif, 1022x766x2, 27540 bytes) is the 30th in a continuing series of fine Disney fanart drawings by Bob Ito and the 9th in the so-called "Bucketland Cards" series of handmade greeting cards, "when you're too cheap to buy a card". :-) Dawn breaks over a little town, that tiny village that Belle lives in. But this day will not be like any other day, because today is Christmas! And as Belle wanders downstairs, she's surprised and delighted to find that she's gotten a special present this year. No, this isn't the year she meets her Beast, but the next best thing is waiting for her under the tree.... This is a handmade Christmas card made by Bob, signed by him and "four Davids", the other members of the Bucketeer Bodyguard Brigade (that gang of net.reprobates^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hbodyguards :-) that defend the FDC walkaround Belle): David Cuthbert Robert David Ito Jeffrey David Wilson David Uy as well as two of their partners-in-crime: Pamela Shaw Steve Pagano and sent to the FDC walkaround Belle, Amberle Ferrian : The card is divided into three sections: left: front of card right: inside right of card bottom: back, with "Bucketland Cards" slogan As with all Bucketland Cards, all personal messages have been deleted. Apologies for this being posted a bit late, but when it was received, there were no scanning facilities available. Now, if only they could bring plushies to life...;-) Bob Ito's fanart drawings are archived at: ftp://ftp.ugcs.caltech.edu/pub/disney/images/ito/ http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~dacut/fdc.html Contact the archive maintainer, David Cuthbert for more details, and Bob for comments and queries on the drawings.
