We are delighted to be offering a rare signed print by Howard Finster (1916-2001), a popular American outsider artist and Baptist minister.  First known for his collaborative work for the rock band R.E.M, his whimsical designs and his biography are fascinating.

Titled “Howard Finster Puts Mickey Mouse In a Kid’s World“, Finster was one of many contemporary artists who were asked to design a work of art commemorating iconic Mickey Mouse.  The original work of the artists were published in a book “The Art Of Mickey Mouse.” 

This print is one of approx 50 ONLY rare prints that were personally hand signed by the artist on Mickey’s foot while he was at the Walt Disney Art Gallery; not to be confused with the larger run of unsigned prints that are more readily available. 

Highest quality photo-lithograph on heavy paper. 

22″ x 24″ 

Condition is excellent with only a few small areas with very mild creases that were hard to show in photos due to the extremely detailed whimsical design that makes it nearly impossible see any issues. Take a look at the photo of the back to see the areas.

I could find only one other for sale on the internet for $2500, mint. We are offering ours at a fraction of that price. 

Finster’s works is getting more and more recognition since his death in 2001; here’s a charming example of both HIS unique vision and beloved iconic Mickey!  This and many other Disney collectibles are available in our eBay Store Connectibles.
