Mary Blair

From looking on Google today, I found one of their tributes was to a woman named Mary Blair.  She innovated Disney from it's early years down to her retirement.  She worked on many different types of advertisements in the late 1950's, early 1960's and I can see why she's a big influence; even today.  She had an amazing way of using bright colors and different types of lines to inspire such films as Alice in Wonderland (seen to the left) and Peter Pan.

She began to have a different style that seemed to be her own, using mainly watercolors with hardly any line detail to what she did.  The ads were also unique at the time, going away from her usual style.  She was definitely a major influence and always will be.  You can find out more about her online and look at some of her work here.
