The story behind 100 Mickeys...
By Eric Robison
When I received the proposal to paint 100 Mickeys, I was excited and anxious to begin. I packed up my paints and brushes and flew to a little island in the Caribbean to commence this ambitious undertaking.

The inspiration of Nature's colors there and the occasional plunge into the river was enough to initiate a great start. I returned two weeks later with the first 21 Mice in my suitcase. That was easy. The next 79 were a bit more challenging and took 16 months to finish. The challenge was trying to make each one different in pose, style, or medium. As well as paying homage to the history of Mickey.

It is a collection of paintings that I'll never forget achieving and a dream project for any artist to take on. I am honored that I was asked to perform such a feat. I want to thank the Disney Company for allowing me to express myself in so many ways and I am honored to represent Walt's wonderful creation - Mickey Mouse...An American Icon.

The series was created by Disney Artist Eric Robison.

The lanyard is red and comes with a medallion that has pictures of various of the One Hundred Mickeys (100 Mickeys) pins.In the center is Eric Robison's signature, 100 Mickeys logo with the mouse ears on the middle zero, and the words "One Hundred Mickeys" at the bottom.
