Treasure Island Rare Pic

I found this when I was cruising the other day -- Bobby, one of the pirate actors, and Walt Disney having tea on the set of Treasure Island.  As many of the movie stills as exist, it's odd I've not seen this before! 

It was said from Bobby's would-be-biographer that he had spoken fondly of his time in England, and what a happy memory it was for him.  The experience may have been the highlight of his otherwise lonely childhood.  I certainly hope so.

Happy January to my followers!  I hope everyone's new year is turning out to be drama-free and refreshing! 

I posted a picture of Bobby a couple days ago simply to have something quick to put up while I'm working on my next commentary, which will be on Screen Director's Playhouse's "Day is Done."  Those can be quite the undertaking between finding time to get my mom's computer in order to use her DVD drive (my own laptop doesn't have one), taking all the screenshots, and typing up the plot summary.  I still have a few episodes I'm going to do this with, so expect great things!  Even if they're not ready quite yet....

So today I want to show you some really beautiful artwork created by someone on Instagram named maggzilyx.  She is a gifted kindred spirit who has turned Bobby's life into art, and I'm going to give a link so you guys can go look at her stuff.  She's done alot of collages and mixed media art with his image. 

(Btw, I have her permission to be saying all this and sharing her profile!)

I'd wanted to post them in here as images credited to her, but I can't seem to save them as jpegs....

So please.  Go there.  Let her know she's awesome.

By the way, this gives me the courage to post my own Bobby collage I did back at the beginning of 2016!  It's not nearly as well done as those above are, but it was borne of affection all the same.

I used some Peter Pan quotes, cut up portions of some of his letters (COPIES of his letters), and that middle portion there includes lyrics from Earth Angel, reported to have been his favorite song.

I've said this before, but I believe Bobby would have been honored by people inspired to create art out of his life.

I saw this on eBay. Look how young Bobby is here! I'm imagining it may have been his first "headshot" as I've never seen one where he looks much younger, and he looks to be around The Sullivans age. I love the dream clouds in those eyes. What a baby doll!
