When asked about his Pinbassador Inspirations, Timm replied, "While thumbing through a book with vintage images of California, I was inspired by the artistic styles of billboards around the country.

Having landed on Mars in last year's pin, Mickey Mouse now journeys to the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter.
