Lot 65 A Mickey Mouse Model Sheet by Bob Clampett.
(Clampett, 1937-38) A Mickey Mouse model sheet hand drawn by Bob Clampett. This sheet very closely matches the official Disney Studio Mickey Mouse model sheet dated July 20, 1937, but signed by Bob Clampett instead of Disney artist Don Towsley. Accurately reproducing model sheets was, at the time, a standard exercise for animators applying to a Studio. Drawn on Disney animation paper, this sheet suggests Clampett may have been exploring the possibility of moving to Disney when he was seeking an opportunity to start directing. Measuring 10” x 12”, the model sheet accomplished in graphite is in very good condition, with light handling wear, and discoloration in two small spots and along the top edge.
