"The Changing of the Guard" (chnguard.gif, 550x550x2, 8948 bytes) is a
special Disny fanart drawing by Bob Ito
One of the reasons that I am maintaining the Ito Galleries, Ink
collection of images is that my predecessor, Amberle Ferrian, has
lost her net access and handed the responsibility of scanning and
distributing these lovely images to me.
Bob Ito shows us his feelings about her leaving in the poignancy of
this image.

For the benefit of the visitors to the Ito Galleries, Ink archive on the
World Wide Web, I have included a
JPEG of the original work.
"Ito Galleries, Ink Logo" (inkhead.gif, 640x406x2, 5856 bytes) is
another of Bob Ito's
<ito@alumni.cs.colorado.edu>
fine Disney fanart drawings.
However, it is not part of the "Ito Galleries, Ink." series
of drawings, mainly because it doesn't quite manage to fit in with the
series.
Earlier, Bob brought you two Belle drawings he used as letterheads
(itoltrh1.gif and
itoltrh2.gif, which are available from the Ito
Galleries, Ink. website.
Now, he brings you a brand new logo for the Ito Galleries, Ink.
webpage, with his favorite character, Belle, looking over his work!
"A Belle Bookmark" (bookmark.gif, 237x741x2, 5890 bytes) is a special
Disney fanart drawing by Bob Ito
Those of you familiar with Bob's artwork knows that he also likes to
get as much utilitarian value out of them as possible. For instance,
some of his artwork is been used for his annual set of Christmas,
birthday, and Valentine cards making up the so-called "Bucketland
Cards" collection, and the letterheads for his snail mail
correspondence, as well as this own
collection's logo.
This image of the studious Belle follows in this tradition and comes
from (how appropriate) a bookmark!

In Bob's own words:
[This is] a picture of Belle, which is a spoof of the following
painting, Diego Valezquez's "Venus at her Mirror" (aka "The Toilet
of Venus" and "The Rokeby Venus"). I actually got the idea from
Ward Kimball's "Art Afterpieces," where he had his own version of
Velazquez's painting (and a number of others), and it was too good
to pass up. :-)
