A Place for Us

According to the estate: David used many of his favourite song lyrics to express his love for Minnie Mouse, and his belief that we should say what needs to be said. Personal messages of love to his family and proclamations to the world, ‘I will love you with all the madness in my soul,’ his offer of enduring protection, ‘I will keep you from the dark,’ and a hope that there will always be a utopian future where ‘We’ll walk in the sun’.

“I remember as a little boy drawing Mickey Mouse. No longer was it distant from me. I could do it. You could make the world yours. It was like learning to write: I'm here! Olive Oyl...Mickey... These were 'people' I knew. I was at home with them and could get on with painting them…”
