Eric Christian Robison - 1999
Eric Robison siempre quiso ser artista
sentía que debía desarrollar su lado "sensible". Él estudió economía
en la universidad de California, Irvine.
Cuando estaba haciendo su tesis en economía. descubrió
que estaba mas interesado en las ilustraciones y la portada que en la tesis
en sí y lo hacia tan bien que su profesor le recomendó que dejara la economía
y se dedicara al área artística.
Un par de años después de la graduación, Robison
se hizo las mismas preguntas. En 1984 él se alistó en la universidad: centro
del arte del diseño en Pasadena, California.
El resto, como dicen, es historia.
Hoy, Robison es un artista, un
diseñador y un filmmaker con un gran sentido del
estilo, del color y de la composición ha trabajado para clientes tales como
la compañía de Walt Disney,
los estudios universal del MCA, el Warner Bros. y
las Olimpiadas del verano en Atlanta 1996.

Eric Robison always
thought about being an artist while he was growing up, but he felt he should
do the "sensible" thing. So he studied economics at the
University of California
,
Irvine
, and readied himself for a career of preparing reports, attending
meetings and wearing three-piece suits.
And then came his senior thesis in economics. The paper did all
right, but the artwork on the cover did even better, prompting his professor
to ask, "What are you doing in economics? Why aren't you studying
art?"
After graduation and
a couple of years of crunching numbers, Robison asked himself the same
questions. So in 1984 he traded in his calculator for a sketch pad and
enrolled at Art Center College of Design in
Pasadena, California
.
The rest, as they
say, is history.
Today, Robison is an
artist, designer and filmmaker whose bold sense of style, color
and composition can be seen in his own efforts, as well as the work he does
and has done for such clients as The Walt Disney Company, MCA Universal
Studios, Warner Bros. and the 1996 Summer Olympics in
Atlanta
.

interpretive paintings of Disney Characters have been selling out continually
since his first Goofy at the Disney Gallery in 1990. Now with over 200
characters in his portfolio, his work has crossed international borders in
the form of limited edition lithographs, posters, and more. Robison 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. Painting with sticks, fingers, and brushes he creates texture and
raw blends of color that sets the scene for his subject. His work has been
described as "theatrical and festive".
Eric still works as
a consultant for the Walt Disney Company and recently finished 100 Mickey
Mouse portraits for Disneyland® Park in celebration of Walt Disney's 100th
Birthday.

composition can be seen in his own efforts, as well as the work he does and
has done for such clients as The Walt Disney Company, MCA Universal Studios,
Warner Bros., and the 1996 Summer Olympics in
Atlanta
.
It didn't take long
for Eric to realize he had made the right choice choosing to art over
economics. While receiving his formal training at
Art
Center
, he created new concepts for toys such as Hot
Wheels and Transformers at Mattel Toys® and contributed to the conceptual
design of the Z-9 BMW for Stehrenberger & Clenét. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in
Industrial Design (with honors) in 1987 and got his first taste of the
entertainment industry when designs he had painted for his senior project
ended up appearing in Carolco Pictures' science
fiction thriller, “total recall”
Later that year,
after a stint designing product packaging for Pacific Packaging, whose
clients included Clinique, Maybelline,
Vidal Sasoon, and STP, Eric joined Walt Disney
Imagineering, the design subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. He worked on
numerous projects, including attractions for Disneyland Paris and Tokyo
Disneyland and the proposed theme parks for
Anaheim
and
Long Beach
. He was able to learn from such Disney legends as Herb Ryman and
Frank Armitage.
Using sticks,
fingers and brushes, Eric paints with an aggressive blend of raw texture and
vivid color that has been described as both intellectual and theatrical. His
bold and expressive works have been shown at the Chicago Museum of Science
and Industry; The Art Center Gallery and the Knightsbridge Theater in
Pasadena
,
California
; The Disney Gallery in
Anaheim
,
California
; and the annual Herbert Ryman Living Master Art
Show in
Glendale
,
California
.
Eric continues to
consult with the entertainment industry. His most recent projects include conceptual
artwork for new attractions at Tokyo Disneyland, storyboards for motion
pictures such as "Jumanji," and the
design of various video games. His commissioned work includes five
commemorative lithographs for
Hong Kong
's "
Pearl
of the Orient" Celebration in 1997 and a
series of Disney character portraits for The Disney Gallery.
Eric currently
resides in
Southern California
, and
Guadeloupe
,
French West Indies
