| 0:06.1 | Coming up next from the Bob Barley studio in Orlando, Florida, this is The Dizzong Plugs. |
| 0:12.0 | This is The Dizzong Plug episode 719 for the week of July 8th, 2014. |
| 0:30.2 | The Dizzong Plug is brought to you by Dreams Unlimited Travel, experts at helping you plan |

| 0:48.0 | This week, I'm John Michael Noah, Teresa Eccles, Kevin John, and Corey Martin. |
| 1:06.0 | And then back in the production look, our associate producers Craig Williams and Sean Thompson. |
| 1:19.0 | Now, a lot of us have tried to buy Disney art at some point or another and anyone who has knows that there's a whole lot of it out there and it ranges in styles and prices and it can be quite an overwhelming task to try to figure out how to navigate all of that. |
| 1:36.0 | So we have Kevin John here with us this week to help us figure some of that stuff out. |
| 1:42.0 | Why don't you give us a little bit of a brief synopsis of your background? |
| 1:45.0 | Sure. As someone you know, I am a 27 year veteran now being a professional artist. I started when I was still in high school creating art and selling it on the open market. |
| 1:59.0 | Most of my acclaim has come through developing sports art for pro athletes and teams, ESPN, National Football League, Major League Baseball, so on and so forth. |
| 2:11.0 | I am now in my second year under a contract as a master artist for Walt Disney, the Walt Disney Company. |
| 2:19.0 | And I am charged with creating original art based on the experiences that you have when you come to the park, whether that be character experiences, attraction experiences, that resort experiences, that sort of thing. |
| 2:37.0 | I create the original art that you all buy when you go to the art of Disney calories. And that's just one of the things that I am doing now. |
| 2:46.0 | This sports art end of my company and the pop culture end of the company are still very active. We still do a lot of that work as well nationally. |
| 2:54.0 | But I just love creating the art for Disney for sure. Yeah, it's a really a dream come true. |
| 3:01.0 | I have a question. So do you hang your own artwork in your house? |
| 3:05.0 | No, you know, I don't. I really don't. And really never have. Maybe way back when when I was really poor and couldn't afford other people's artworks. |
| 3:15.0 | I just hung my own stuff up there. But you know, the last thing I want to do is look at my own stuff hanging on the wall. I look at it all day long. |
| 3:25.0 | And I live with these pieces for weeks on end in the development of one piece. And I really like to enjoy other art. |
| 3:36.0 | Well, even though you don't want to look at your own artwork, apparently a lot of the rest of the world does not agree with you. |
