ART: Things to Come

Welcome to 2018.

This is the first picture of the year and will kick off what is hopefully a wonderful year for everyone, but also for those of you who are fans of my art. This time, I couldn't decide whether to make this a horizontal or a vertical image, so as a compromise I made it a perfect square! As usual (and rather clichéd at this point), I've chosen to tackle the age-old "Hollywood musicals of the past" theme that I find so alluring time after time. However, there is a twist with this particular image: besides the obvious cheesecake and an embarrassing joke on Danny's expense, there are hints about my future artistic endeavours. As the title suggests, there are things to come.

Look for hints concerning:

• 1 upcoming picture theme
   – Maddie/Danny
• 5 characters that will be featured at some point in my art during this year
   – Helen Parr
   – Red Hot Riding Hood
   – Olga Pataki
   – Miriam Pataki
   – Mona De LaFitte
• 1 upcoming release
  – the art archive (duh)

Happy hunting! Also, feel free to comment about your findings here. Let's see if you guys can figure out all seven secrets (honestly though, I think most of these are pretty easy, except maybe one or two). You should download the .ZIP from deviantART to get access to three different resolutions, including the full-res high-quality one.

Congrats to everyone who figured out all the hidden clues!
