That particular piece shown , ‘Tyrolean Fantasy’, is absolutely stunning.
I had the honor of seeing the original painting at Tony’s place a few years ago, and it is gorgeous.

When you get to the head of that line and get to talk to Tony, be sure to ask him about the story behind it.
It’s a good one.

My personal favorite piece of artwork by his hand is the utterly fantastic ‘Discovery Bay’ concept painting.
It is even more amazing when you realize it was painted entirely in watercolors, which is very difficult to do in its own right!
Masterpeice.
Still absolutely thrilled to be gifted a framed artist proof of that design by the man himself, some years ago.

Interesting. Not as excited about these personally - especially the beer selection. But, I appreciate some of the creativity. Holidays was actually pretty decent this year, compared to some recent trends. Details will always depend on how these actually taste and look in the park vs. promo photos.
