I was hoping we'd get an Imagineering forum sometime, thanks Raptor!

Hello i was wondering if you know of a book of the concept art etc. that only focuses on DL Paris. I nearly bought one when i went to DL last year but it was mostly the FLorida resort!

Thanks.

There's a book called "From sketch to reality" which focusses completely on the Disneyland Park, Hotels and Disney Village.
It's filled with concept art, ideas and high quality photos. It's easily one of the best Imagineering books ever!

The other book you're referring too is Walt Disney Imagineering.

It's not just about Disney World, it covers all the parks, mostly about the strong attractions of each park. (WDW gets mentioned a bit more, because they have 4 parks ;-) )

This book is on my shelf for some years now. I have never really made time to read it, but it's a great book to go through and just watching pics. There's so much neat concept art in it. It's a shame that todays concept art often doesn't look as brilliant as in the old days. Not that all art is really bad, but they used to do so many oil paintings.

Exactly, thats quite a pity indeed.

American Scenic is a company that helps designing various things at themepark. At the projects page of American Scenic are some Disney and non-Disney projects with some great concept art and technical drawings.

Philip Bloom, who seems to be the founder of this company, has been working for both Universal Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering, before starting American Scenic.
