We’re just a few weeks away from the debut of Pixar’s first prequel – Monsters University opens June 21 in theaters everywhere. To celebrate, we asked you to submit your best Monsters Mash-Up. Take any of the characters from the ‘Monsters’ universe and smash ’em up with just about anything else. The results have been unsurprisingly entertaining! In this first batch alone, we see monsters invading the worlds of Star Wars, The Incredibles and The Lord of The Rings.
New Toy Story PixArt Double Dose: Buzz, Woody, Bonnie & Friends
Woody and Buzz by Amy Mebberson
Here’s another does of goodness from BOOM! comics artist extraordinaire Amy Mebberson. We’re just crazy about this former Disney Toons animator’s cheerful images and illustrations. See so much more of her fabulous work at her website and blog. Keep an eye on Amy’s sites – there’s some FUN stuff on the way. Stay tuned for more details.
Bonnie and Friends by Jerrod Maruyama
Wow, this incredibly cute piece from illustrator Jerrod Maruyama really warms the heart. Bonnie was extraordinarily adorable and we feel that Jerrod truly captures the charm she displayed in Toy Story 3. Jerrod recently joined The Pixar Times team and has become an invaluable part of the blog. You can see lots more of Jerrod’s work on his Flickr page and website.
A big thanks to our amazing contributing artists, Jerrod and Amy. They each gave us multiple pieces during our countdown to Toy Story 3‘s home release, and we are so thankful. Here we are on the eve of the big day. It’s been fun, but it’s not over! We have two more pieces of PixArt going up tomorrow!
Speaking of which, the wait is almost over as Toy Story 3 is out on DVD and Blu-ray TOMORROW! Read more about the great special features on the sets in our in-depth review here.

New Toy Story PixArt: Cowgirls
Cowgirls by Amy Mebberson
Jessie the yodeling Cowgirl meets Slue Foot Sue and we couldn’t be more charmed with the result. Born in Australia, where she was an animator for Disney, Amy Mebberson currently resides in Portland, where she is a comic artist and illustrator. She was kind enough to send us this wonderful piece celebrating the two most famous red-head cowgirls in the Disney-Pixar family. We’re sure you’ll love her work as much as we do. Check out her website, deviantART page, and Flickr page to sample her amazing work. You’ll find lots of stuff for BOOM! Studios where Amy has been hard at work on their line of Muppets and Pixar titles. But that’s only one part of her great portfolio. There’s lots to see and love!
We’re so pleased with Amy’s work you just might see another piece coming up sometime soon. Thanks Amy!
And don’t forget to pick up your copy of TOY STORY 3 on DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday November 2! Read The Pixar Times’ full review of the Four-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack.

Pixar Swag At New York Comic Con 2010
At the last New York Comic Con, Disney/Pixar held a special panel for Up a few months before the film’s opening. They screened the first hour of Up and director Pete Docter was on hand to talk about the film. Unfortunately, at the 2010 show this weekend, there are no panels planned for Cars 2. That doesn’t mean there was no Pixar fun to be had, though, as I was able to score some great exclusives. You can check Tadam black stock for more updates. [Read more…]
