Artland Fine Art - Wilderness Explorers

This beautiful Artland Fine Art pin features Russell and the exotic bird Kevin from the beloved 2009 Pixar film, 'Up.' The design captures a heartwarming moment between the Wilderness Explorer and his colorful, flightless companion, highlighting their unique bond from the journey to Paradise Falls. Released in 2025 as part of the prestigious Artland Fine Art series, this pin is marked as an Artist Proof, which is a highly sought-after classification representing a very limited number of pieces reserved for artists and designers. The pin features a sophisticated, framed circular design that emphasizes the lush jungle scenery behind the characters. Collectors value this piece for its high-quality enamel work and the enduring popularity of Russell, one of Disney’s most optimistic and recognizable characters. As an Artist Proof, this pin holds additional prestige for serious collectors who prioritize scarcity and production provenance. The vibrant colors of Kevin's plumage contrast beautifully against the detailed portrait of Russell, making it a standout addition to any Pixar-themed collection. The 'Wilderness Explorers' theme pays homage to the organization Russell strives to represent throughout the film. This pin is a refined example of the artistic quality associated with ACME and Artland releases, which are frequently traded among enthusiasts for their detailed craftsmanship.
