I am the biggest Disney fine art fan of all time. I am an avid collector of disney fine art.



The artist known simply as Noah (last name: Elias) is considered one of the hottest talents to throw himself into the fine art market and custom art scene.[1] He is know most for painting the Suki car in 2 Fast 2 Furious, but is also a widely collected painter of Disney Fine Art.[2]

Biography

edit

Noah was born March 28th, 1971 in Orange County, California, and found he had a gift early on:

I started my company when I was still in high school. I was doing lettering, signs and promotional banners for businesses and restaurants...My business card was even in the high school yearbook.[3]

Noah soon took his art to the streets, painting portraits of celebrities on canvas for huge, captivated crowds outside neighborhood coffee shops.[4] His portraits soon attracted collectors like Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Craig T. Nelson and The Black Crowes.[5] This celebrity exposure made Noah an overnight star within the art community. Soon after, corporate clients like Lexus Motor Cars, Levi's Jeans and Toyota, were asking Noah to enhance their corporate collections and ad campaigns.[6]

Noah had long since realized that "canvas was the ticket...It allowed [him] to spend a great deal of time on a piece and generate income." Before long, though, Noah began painting on different surfaces: "I have come up with different avenues in my work, and I meet a lot of markets that way."[7] And in 2004 he garnered international fame for the amazing paint job, or "rolling canvas," he did on the Suki car in Universal Pictures' hit movie, 2 Fast 2 Furious. He has since won "Best Paint" at S.E.M.A. (Specialty Equipment Marketing Association)[8] [9]an unprecedented 4 years in a row for the "rolling canvases" he created on behalf of Alpine Electronics. Noah's also known for the body art he's applied for many add campaigns, most recently he did body art on the recording artist, Pink (he decorated her body with tattoos for a recent music video).[10]
