I bought a Doggett

My friend Eric Doggett became a Disney Fine Artist a couple years back and he's currently being featured at EPCOT's 2026 Festival of the Arts. Each day this week, he's holding court to talk to people about his work at a pop-up gallery just outside the Mexico Pavilion. Myself and a few other friends ganged up on him this afternoon to lend our moral and financial support by showing up and buying a few pieces.

I really like the painting I picked up. It's a semi-subtle ode to Big Thunder Mountain, a celebration of Walt's love of trains, a not-so-hidden Mickey-shaped rockface, and a tiny nod to the goat.

If you're a local, swing by and say hi to Eric—he's great! If you're not, check him out as @EricDoggett on YouTube—the videos of how he works are pretty cool. I immediately hung it in my office / studio when I got home, because Eric's audio engineering talents are a big reason why Breaking Change sounds as good as it does!

And if you'd rather give your eyes a rest and your ears a workout, might I suggest my long-form solo podcast, Breaking Change? Odds are, you haven't heard anything quite like it.
