Born and raised in the heart of Orange County, California, the artist
known simply as Noah has been creating amazing artwork - locally and
worldwide - for many years. The “stages” of Noah’s
life begin with his earliest memories: his grandmother’s rose
garden, his mother’s floral designs, watching his father paint
for hours on end. He was only two when he began to draw, still in school
when he started winning awards for his work, and just 16 when he committed
to a life and career as an artist.
His art career flourished while still in high school, creating signs
and banners for the school, family and friends. With no formal training
but a ton of raw talent, Noah began taking on commercial work of every
variety. In the early nineties he was known for setting up his easel
at local coffee shops and painting portraits of famous celebrities.
His work captured the attention of Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer,
Craig T. Nelson, ZZ Top and the Black Crows.
As recognition grew, so did his roster of clients (Levi's, Alpine,
Lexus) and collectors including CEO's and celebrities. In 2004 Noah
was asked to paint the famous pink “Suki” car in Universal
Pictures “2 Fast 2 Furious”. One of his most recognized
achievements are his rolling canvases for Alpine Electronics. These
radical vehicles have won numerous automobile awards such as “Best
Paint” at SEMA in Las Vegas four years in a row. The SEMA Show
is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world.
Noah is pictured with his "A Tribute To Legends" mural at
the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas
“Being an artist is a privilege and a responsibility,” he
says. “I want to impact individuals in the way I am impacted spiritually.
In the best of all possible worlds, I would like my work to bring comfort
to others, and help them move forward on their own spiritual journey.”
Noah and Disney
Growing up in Orange County exposed Noah to one of his greatest artistic
influences. “I spent my days as a child wandering Main St. in
Disneyland enjoying the magical world Walt Disney created,” explains
Noah. “ I have been blessed with the unique opportunity to create
art that helps carry on the legacy and heritage of Walt Disney's dream.
My goal is to continue to impact the lives of both young and old with
the magic I have been so fortunate to take part in."
Noah’s original Disney character portraits, crafted in his signature
Asian-influenced, monochromatic paint style, are proving to be extremely
popular among collectors of Disney Fine Art. He carefully renders the
composition first, and then over-paints with more exuberant effects.
“Jessica Rabbit”
“If The Shoe Fits”
“I like to mix photorealism with drips and texture.
It contradicts itself and works to the very end – the organic
and natural contrasts beautifully with the structure of the airbrush
and photorealism. It’s a nice marriage of techniques that gives
the work more depth. The effect is almost trompe - l’oeil, French
for ‘trick the eye’, which is an art technique involving
extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion
that the depicted objects appear in three-dimensions. This is especially
true of the water drops on the flowers.”

Hand Embellished by Harrison Ellenshaw. The genius and mastery of Ellenshaw artwork is put on display in these stunning visions of Disney regal grandeur. Embracing the romantic architecture of Disney's royal tales, Collectors Editions is pleased to present a new fine art series which lovingly showcases the combined talents of the legendary Peter and Harrison Ellenshaw. Each piece in these black paper limited editions are carefully hand-created using a proprietary technique called "Chiarography".
Using reclaimed lumber as his "canvas", he started painting images of vintage Americana with subjects ranging from pop icon celebrity to the hey day of jazz.
After numerous gallery shows in Los Angeles and private commissions he has now combined his unique style to that most American of symbols, MICKEY MOUSE. Along with a series of classic lobby card paintings, he has also created a performance piece that has him painting a large canvas of our favorite Disney characters in a matter of minutes.
With Stephen Reis, Trevor has come full circle combining his two loves of painting and acting.Stephen Reis is a California native born in Los Angeles in 1974. He has studied all forms of art from Film production at Loyola Marymount College in CA. to Fine Art in Florence, Italy. Stephen has spent most of the last six years as one of the animators of The Simpson's. With Trevor Carlton, Stephen has brought proportion, perspective and all the traditional aspects that come with his experience as a sought after animator.
Walt Disney Productions welcomed his creative energies. His first film, "Winnie, the Pooh and Tigger, too", sparked his interest not only in painting backgrounds but also in background design and color styling.
After completing, "The Rescuers", his first feature film, he was promoted to Background Department Supervisor, a position he held for nearly seventeen years. While at Disney, James styled and worked on twelve films and over thirty short subjects which included "Mickey's Christmas Carol", "The Fox and the Hound", "The Great Mouse Detective", "The Black Cauldron", "The Little Mermaid", and Academy Award-winning, "Beauty and the Beast". All of which came to life with James Coleman's background images gracing the silver screen.
Duerrstein’s work can be found in the Walt Disney Studio corporate offices, Burbank, California; The Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. and St. Jude’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee and private collections worldwide. Currently his work is seen in “The Art of Mickey Mouse” exhibition traveling through Japan.
Inspired not only by the animation artists he has worked so closely with but also with such diverse draftsman as Leonardo da Vinci and Von Dutch, Duerrstein has recently found inspiration from the animation drawings of Chuck Jones. “I believe I bring the spontaneity of his [Chuck Jones] original drawing to the forefront of my paintings, where the viewer can see the action up close. The backgrounds reflect the age and use of the original drawings, grounding them in history.”
Even at the young age of 32, Michael's artwork captures more than a likeness of the characters he paints, his work creates old world flair. Bringing together all the ingredients necessary to make a painting work, which is why he attracts the eye. With the soft lines and rustic palate, The villains he depicts have always shown a greater range of emotions whether Captain Hook's eyes are boaring into you sizing you up or Cruella dreaming about the newest batch of puppies for her next fur coat. One thing is for sure you know that the characters he renders are so glad to be bad.
