    Disney Fine Art TRON auction

    Jeff Bridges has always been known for taking photos on the sets of his movies, he's also doing original artwork to benefit Share Our Strength®, a national non-profit campaign aimed at ending childhood hunger. Share our Strength is also the charity of choice of Mary Sue Milliken and John Currence on the current Top Chef Masters.

    Check this out from DisneyFineArt.com

    Jeff Bridges, actor, better known for his role in the 1982 science-fiction cult classic Tron, in which he played Kevin Flynn, a video game programmer (a role he reprised in late 2010 with the sequel Tron: Legacy). He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1984 for playing the alien in Starman. He was also acclaimed for his roles in the thriller Against All Odds and the crime drama Jagged Edge. His role in Fearless is recognized by some critics to be one of his best performances. One critic dubbed it a masterpiece; Pauline Kael wrote that he "may be the most natural and least self-conscious screen actor that has ever lived". In 1998 he starred as what is arguably his most famous role, "The Dude" in the Coen Brothers' cult-classic film The Big Lebowski. He has stated in the past that he relates to "The Dude" more than any of his other roles.

    In 1984, Bridges and other entertainment industry leaders founded the End Hunger Network, which has a long record of innovative and impactful initiatives aimed at encouraging, stimulating and supporting action to end childhood hunger. He embraces President Obama's initiative to End Childhood Hunger by 2015. He has teamed up with the Zen Peacemakers who operate a non-traditional soup kitchen that builds a cross-class community and provides food and wellness offerings with dignity. In November 2010, Bridges became spokesman for the No Kid Hungry Campaign of the organization
    Share our Strength®. Its goal is to present and undertake a state-by-state strategy to end childhood hunger in the United States by 2015.

    This auction is for a 46.5" x 70.5" Original Painting, Acrylic on Plexiglass by Jeff Bridges.
    100% of the proceeds benefiting the Share Our Strength® organization

    Gingerbread "Flynn's Arcade" contest entry

    Noah's TRON inspired VinylmationAll right, I wasn't going to do it, but there's only 1 day left to vote so why not! I've entered the TRON inspired gingerbread house contest over at the Disney artist Noah's site. Noah has created cool Disney Vinylmation figures and if you've been by the TRON Pop-Up shop in Culver City or D-Street in CA of FL, you've probably seen his work!

    The guys at ReelGuys.net were kind enough to post about it over on their site and if you follow this link it will show you more photos and tell you how to vote. The contest closes December 10th (west coast time I am guessing). So, please vote!

    FlynnLives! And Flynn's is also yummy!
