COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.
The PAPERWALKER Journal is the personal weblog of DUCKLAND creator and award-winning character designer Florian Satzinger – who worked on characters such as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes (Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Silvester etc.), Pinky And The Brain, A.J.Hogg and Scooby-Doo, for studios such as Warner Bros., Disney, ReelFX and Zanuck Family Entertainment – in which he shares bits and pieces of his character design work, processes, visual development, inspirations and reference materials of current, past and future projects.

    Hey Florian! I've been a longtime fan of your work, so your comment on my blog is much appreciated, thanx so much!

    It was your blog that got me using the blue pencil, which was a big eyeopener at the time!

    If you'll excuse me, I suddenly feel the urge to draw ducks now...:P

    Back to the drawingboard,
