Get to know The Custom Artist Project Artist Team
I live in Orlando, FL and yes, I visit Mickey as often as possible! Being creative has always been something I've just "done" as long as I can remember.My dad is a very talented trained artist and I can recall just being happy to sit around drawing.I created my first custom vinylmation back in 2009. Creating art brings me such excitement! I love the evolution from just an idea to a finished piece. I'm a huge Star Wars fan so it's no surprise my favorite custom vinylmation is my General Grievous.
I live in Sherwood, Oregon. My wife Haily and I moved up here from San Jose, California 2 years ago. I have been an artist from a very young age. I have been doing custom Vinylmations for about 3 years off/on but now I'm starting to get back into it more. I love art because it lets me relax and enjoy something after what can be a stressful job at times. I would have to say my favorite Vinylmation I've done is the Spyro vinyl.
I live in Plymouth, MA. I've been making art as long as I can remember. Don't really know when I became good enough to earn the title "artist". I have even painting vinyls for 3 and a half years. My grandmother was an amazing artist and I learned it all from her, so it's my way of keeping in touch with her now that she's gone.my very first custom of Tim buttons version of the Cheshire Cat will forever be my favorite!

I live in SoCal. As early as I can remember, a coloring book and crayons was all I needed to be happy. I've been customizing Vinylmation since early 2009, shortly after the first series was released. Being able to reenvision characters and/or things in your own style, is the most exciting thing for me as a custom artist. Making things uniquely yours. My favorite piece(s) are ever-changing, but my recent Inside Out series is probably my current.
I live in Philadelphia, PA. While professionally I'm a dentist, I have been dabbling with different types of art and media for as long as I can remember. I made my first custom in 2009 as a cake ornament for my daughter's birthday cake. I love telling stories, and there is no better way than with art. It has been the most rewarding hobby, not only creatively but also because of the people I have met along the way. My favorite piece is my Vinylmation 95 Beast.
I live in Anaheim, CA. I've been interested in art from the moment I could pick up a pencil, crayon whatever I could get my hands on and ever since then I've been evolving as an artist. I've been working on the vinylmation mold roughly 5 years. The creative process,the challenge,bringing it to life and being able to share it with everyone is what I love about it. It's really hard to choose just one since each one of my creations have a special place in my heart.
I live in Santa Fe, NM. I have been an artist for 28 years. I have been creating custom Vinylmation's for 5 years. I love making things in my head a reality. There's something amazing about creating something physical out of just an idea. Being able to share things you've made with other people is super rewarding as well. My 9" custom Ursula with the added tentacles is the one I am most proud of.
I live in beautiful Altadena, CA. My interest in art started at the age of 4. I would draw some of my favorite characters on foil milk bottle caps and writing paper. I’m an avid toy collector and started collecting vinylmation since 2008. I was lucky to be one of the first Disney Store artist to have a vinylmation (Minnie Liberty) released in 2009.There is nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to do what you love the most. My favorite piece is my Mickey through the Years Series.
I live in San Jose California. I've been interested in art for as long as I can remember. I've been drawing cartoons since I was a little kid. I've been working on customs vinyls since July 2012. I love to create art because it serves as an outlet for me. I can forget about any troubles or stressed and just relax and crate something fun. My favorite custom vinylmation I have made would have to be my 9" Lion King vinyl, inspired by "I Just Can't Wait to be King".
I lives in Chatham, IL. I don't see my self as an "artist" just a self taught teacher who found a way to fund his vinyl addiction. I have been doing art and making customs for almost 5 years. I love the reaction I get from the collecting community and seeing how an idea that's in my head becoming a reality. As of now my favorite is my stained glass series because I love the look of stained glass.
I live in Menomonee Falls, WI. I really got into art in high school, studied animation in college, and have painted off and on for about 6 years. I started doing Vinylmations early 2013. Art is a way to express myself and connect with people. I particularly enjoy doing commission work as I love helping to make someone’s idea a reality! It is also a great creative outlet. I think my favorite piece is the sculpted Oswald I did and painted him to look like he was sketched.
I live in San Jose, CA. I feel like I've been an "artist" pretty much my whole life. When I was a kid I had books full of Pokemon, Digimon, and Disney characters. It all led up to me being a graphic designer. Painting is a great break from the computer and keeps me thinking creatively. I've been painting custom Vinylmation since 2012 and it's been so much fun!I love to create art because I love the challenge to be creative through all different mediums. My favorite vinyl I ever made is my 9" Up.

Hi everyone I am a SoCal girl. I have been creating since I was young. When I was small my favorite part of summer camp was art classes. 2009 was when I started custom Vinylmations and sold my first piece to a collector in Australia. That was so exciting. It is so hard to believe I have pieces all over the world. I create because it is a big part of who I am. I love telling stories through my art. I have two equally favorite pieces. My Mr Fredrickson from Up and my ET both are 9" Vinylmations.
