The message of Disney’s Dumbo resonates with us all. Dumbo is really two stories. The first is a story of a young elephant born with unusually large ears. Teased and taunted for his deformity, Dumbo finds strength in a magic feather and later in himself to soar happily through the air. The second is a story of a mother who teaches, encourages, and champions her son. Many of us have moms like Dumbo’s, people who are our number one fans and strongest advocates. Despite our stumbling from time to time, our moms pick us up and nudge us on. One of our favorite scenes in the animated film is with the dancing pink elephants. We wanted to pay tribute to the talented animators, so we painted pink elephants into the clouds. Maybe you can also spot four little peanuts in this painting. They were added to represent the artist’s three kids and wiener dog, Indi. Dumbo is the star of the circus. And this is no ordinary circus. All eyes in this scene are on Dumbo—admiring him for his courage and for making the most of his unusual talent. We hope Dumbo inspires you to believe in yourself as he has inspired us. —Art by Dowdle

Eric Dowdle
Eric Dowdle grew up in the western United States as one of 12 children, with many childhood stories reflected in his artwork—from chickens in mailboxes to boys surprising moms with neighbor's flowers. After moving to Boston, he developed a fascination with folk art that combined his values, love of people, and storytelling ability. Today, Eric and his wife Deb live on a farm in Lindon, Utah, by the Wasatch Mountains, which he calls "my favorite place on earth."
Eric has been creating art for nearly three decades, popularizing a new genre of story-telling art filled with fun and humor. As both a sketch artist and fine-art painter, he's one of only a few artists licensed to paint iconic Disney storybook characters. His travels worldwide have inspired paintings of popular destinations like Rome and Paris alongside hidden gems like Frankenmuth, Michigan and Stowe, Vermont. He says, "It's the people that make a place or event unforgettable. I find it a thrill to celebrate people's experiences by putting their stories into my paintings."
Eric's paintings are treasure hunts filled with Easter eggs, pop-culture references, and vibrant humor, featuring his signature fluffy clouds and sculptured mountains. His collection of over 300 paintings has been converted into premium products like puzzles and prints, selling over one million puzzles annually through major retailers. His hope is that whether gazing at a masterpiece or building a puzzle, people will be flooded with joyful memories and passion to make more.
