Mad Men Screen Print by Jim MacLeod

If you follow The Blot on Twitter then you know I’ve recently become a diehard Mad Men fan. Aly and I bought the first three seasons on Bluray last Thanksgiving, and in just a few short weeks we’ve watched the entire series (including Season 4 which we purchased last week). As it turns out, artist Jim MacLeod is a huge Mad Men fan too, and he designed this amazing screen print entitled “They Can’t Do What We Do…” just for fun!

Jim’s Mad Men print “They Can’t Do What We Do…” is an intricate design featuring all of the show’s primary cast members from Seasons 1-3. As MacLeod explains, “I was originally drawn to Mad Men because I work in a marketing/advertising agency. While my agency has next to no resemblance of Sterling Cooper (Draper and Pryce) I was drawn to the line ‘They can’t do what we do, and they hate us for it.’ It was a line that Don said to Peggy while he was trying to sum up advertising and motivate her to create better, more meaningful, more effective work.”

“They Can’t Do What We Do…” by Jim MacLeod is an 18"x24" three color Mad Men screen print on 100lb. cream paper. The print comes hand signed and numbered, and has a limited edition run of 30 pieces. You currently purchase this awesome poster directly from Jim at his online store for $25.

New Duffy The Disney Bear Vinylmation Platform Figure

Move over Mickey, there’s a new bear in town! Disney casually announced some big news about its Vinylmation toy line late last week…they will be expanding it to include an all new platform figure of Duffy the Disney Bear. Have no fear Mickey purists, the Duffy figure will not be replacing the Mickey Mouse design.

What this means is Disney now has two platform figures to use for its Vinylmation Series instead of just one. While they haven’t released an image of the new Duffy the Disney Bear platform figure, Disney has teased us with this image of the packaging their first Duffy Vinylmation release, an open-edition figure scheduled to arrive in Spring 2012.

To be honest, The Blot had never even heard of Duffy the Disney Bear before last week’s announcement. This got me thinking, who is this Duffy the Disney Bear that the House of Mouse chose to continue its Vinylmation series? That’s a pretty bold move considering all of the classic Disney characters they had to choose from.

I learned on the internet that Duffy was “created” by Minnie Mouse as a present to Mickey before he set sail for a long voyage around the world. Minnie thought Mickey should have something special to remind him how much he was loved at home and gave him this handmade plush teddy bear who Mickey named Duffy. Since late 2010, Duffy the Disney Bear stuffed animals, pins and more have been on sale at Disney theme parks around the world and coming next year…Duffy the Disney Bear Vinylmation figures!
