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 Disneyland's 100th birthday of Walt. He works out of two studios; one in Southern California, and the other in the French West Indies. His Fine Art expressionistic pieces are also finding international attention in France, Asia, Indonesia, Germany, and Los Angeles.

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’”.
