All designs start on paper and most never become reality. I wanted to see what the original Harper Goff sketch of the Burbank Disney(land) would have been like in a 3D environment. All the buildings I modelled on Goff’s sketches.

I believe that artists who work hard at their craft, should be respected and their artwork privacy respected. When others choose to spy, & share an artists work for their own clout, you disrespect the artists. When an artist is ready to share their work they will.
