This is by Disney Legend, artist and imagineer extra-ordiniare Herb Ryman.
Not only did he do the design and concept art for EPCOT, he designed every Disney castle from Sleeping Beauty at Disneyland right up to Disneyland Paris.
A Great Man.

Your definition of "great" is flawed.
Were all of THEM fingerprinted?
Miraculously, on the day this was first posted I was cleaning out my garage and found a box containing a thick, full-color brochure from 1982 announcing the opening of Epcot. I immediately thought of boingboing. I was shocked when I saw the headline "Incredible Epcot Concept Painting" the next morning and the associated picture that I had just been admiring the day before. The brochure was buried under a pile of old letters and memorobilia that I had held onto for almost 30 years and I found it a few hours before someone posted the picture of the painting online - amazing coincidence. I went out and bought a scanner so that I could share some additional images from the brochure with you guys. Here's the link to my Picasa web album:

Dear Willykea,
Your discovery seems really interesting regarding the epcot brochure, and I would love to see the scanned images of the brochure..but the link doesn't seem to work anymore. Would you mind "re"-posting them?
Many thanks!
