Arguably Disneyland's best attraction ever, the Haunted Mansion turns 40 next year. In honor of this anniversery, Disneyland has enlisted the super hipster artist Shag to create a series of pieces of art based on different parts of the attraction. The results are pure awesomeness.
In August of 2009, the park will be hosting a new Shag event commemorating the 40th anniversary of what might be the park’s best attraction, the Haunted Mansion. The artist has created 13 new pieces depicting different parts of the attraction and they are gorgeous.
Details are still a little sketchy (pardon the pun) at this time, but it appears that a range of merchandise will be created based on the art: at the very least, Shag will be signing prints on Sunday, August 9th at the park. Buyers, however, will get the first opportunity to buy the prints at a cocktail party the evening of the 8th where Shag will be the guest of honor. Here’s hoping that they hold the event in the Mansion itself — Walt Disney World has done dinners in the stretch rooms in the past — what a blast it would be to party where “candle lights flicker where the air is deathly still.”
To see the other wonderful pieces of art Shag has created for this series, be sure to go here. They're pure retro classy beauty!
