ARTIST BIO: Monty Maldovan

When I was young I used to escape to my room and draw all day. I would draw all kinds of things but mostly animals and Disney characters. Who knew I'd still be doing that today! After receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Art from Penn State University, I moved to Florida to see what Walt Disney World had to offer. I started my Disney career in '92 as a seasonal Cast Member for the Easter parade. After that I transferred to a Full-time position at the Disney MGM-Studios as a tour guide for the Backstage Studio Tour. After about two years of bouncing around the park, working at different attractions and events, I landed a job with Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida in the Ink and Paint Department. From there I moved my way up and obtained a job as a Final Checker. This is where I had the chance to make one of my dreams come true and work on the animated film& "Mulan."

Now I am living out my biggest dream of being a Disney Artist. Working with the Disney Design Group and being part of this diverse, creative and talented group of artists (and fellow Disney geeks) is probably one of the most rewarding and exciting things to have ever happened to me. Every day I gain a greater respect and love for what I do and who I do it for. In my thirteen years with Disney I have seen, learned, experienced, and achieved more than I ever though possible.

No wish list will be taken for this event. We ask that you bring no personal items to be signed. Event information subject to change without notice. Admission is required to enter Disneyland® park. ©Disney

Jim sends us this scan of the 2004 Pest Management Pins from WDW. We know that the LE 1000 was awarded to select Cast Members of the Horticulture and Pest Management Team, however, we are "bugged" as to the LE 100 pin. There are definite color differences between the two pins, specifically the green in the banner, the lacking of red in the three lady bugs in the 100, the brown in the worm in Pumbaa's mouth (100) and the darker brown coloration in the 100. The pin on the right has Limited Edition 1000 on the back, and the pin on the left, has Limited Edition 100 on the back. Both have the 2004 Pin Trading Logo; ©Disney and China also on the back.

If anyone has any information on the LE 100 pin, please send an e-mail to Dizpins

Thanks!!
