Eric Robison's
interpretive paintings of Disney Characters have been selling out since his
first Goofy at the Disney Gallery in 1990. Now with more than 300 character
pieces in his portfolio, his work has crossed international borders in the
form of Limited Edition lithographs, posters, and more.
Upon graduating with
honors from the Art Center College of Design, Eric began his career as an
artist in 1987 when he was hired by Walt Disney Imagineering. As a concept
designer he worked on projects associated with the Disneyland Resort Paris,
Disneyland Resort Tokyo, Walt Disney World Resort, and of course Disneyland
Resort California. His unique paintings of the classic Disney characters were
discovered by Imagineering President Marty Sklar in
1989, and the rest as they say is history. Since then he has become a best
selling artist in Disney's theme parks, galleries and stores. Eric’s commercial
talents have taken him to an 18-year association with the Walt Disney
Company, also working as a consultant for Universal Studios, and Warner Bros.
His list of credits also include five commemorative lithographs for the Hong
Kong's Pearl of the Orient Celebration in 1997, Globo
International in Brazil, Toyota Motor Corporations, NASA, and more. Painting with sticks,
fingers, and brushes Eric creates texture and raw blends of color that sets
the scene for his subject. He has a natural inclination to capture
elements of tradition and twist them into an eclectic expression of visual
imagery. His method of creativity is aggressive and bold, and his work has
been described as "theatrical and festive". Eric continues to
consult for the Walt Disney Company and recently finished 100 Mickey Mouse portraits
for Eric’s latest Disney
project is a tribute to Donald Duck. It is 50 paintings to be shown at
the World of Disney Store Gallery Grand Opening. He is also working on a
short film, painting over 250 originals that will be set to animation and
music. Eric
describes his latest project as, “Something Beyond ‘Fantasia’”.
