Flippin Switches - Cars Original. Born and raised in Orange County, California, the artist known as Noah has emerged as one of the hottest talents to hit the fine art market and custom art scene. Noah first earned local recognition in the early 1990s for setting up his easel in neighborhood coffee shops around Costa Mesa and painting portraits of famous celebrities for throngs of fascinated patrons. His portraiture caught the eye of collectors like Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Craig T. Nelson, ZZ Top and the Black Crowes.
Soon after, corporate clients came knocking. Lexus Motor Cars, Levi’s and Toyota, among many others, commissioned Noah to enhance their corporate collections, and in 2004 he painted the famous pink “Suki” car in Universal Pictures’ 2 Fast 2 Furious. Noah’s “body art,” created for clients like Red Bull Energy Drink and recording artist Pink (he adorned her body with tattoos for one of her music videos), has similarly exposed his talent to a broader audience.
Among Noah’s most recognized achievements are the “rolling canvases” created for Alpine Electronics. These radically altered vehicles have won numerous automobile awards, such as “Best Paint” at SEMA in Las Vegas for four years running. His art is featured in every episode of A&E’s Inked and he’s the official painter for Arturo Fuente Cigars.
His limited edition Disney works have been wildly popular with Disney collectors and Noah considers it an honor to be a part of The Pixar Collection with his very fitting tribute to the loveable low-rider “Ramone” from Pixar’s 2006 hit Cars.
