How sez, "California hipster artist Shag has created 13 new art pieces commemorating the 40th Anniversary of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion attraction. I've collected all the details (and art) known to date about the upcoming event in August of 2009 in one post."

What's not to like? Shag's art + the best ride Disney's Imagineers ever built = sheer heaven!


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.”
Shag Haunted Mansion art event (Thanks, How!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Brilliant ride, but I’d place it at #2 after Pirates of the Caribbean, an even more immersive story that goes from dark to light to dark again. The pacing on Pirates is extraordinary, and there’s something about a water ride…

    Shag Art, is that a euphemism for.. never mind.
