The Gallery's Perspective
There’s an easy-going grin to this Mickey that feels like a postcard from the islands. Rendered across horizontal wooden slats, the image pairs warm, sun-bleached grain with a bright, retro palette — coral reds, aqua teals and sunny ochres — so the whole piece reads like weathered beach signage. Mickey’s stance, lei, and hibiscus-patterned shorts give him a playful, vacation-ready personality; the exaggerated outlines and slight shadowing keep the figure bold against the stylized shoreline and palms behind him. The hand-embellished handling is visible in the subtle texture and layered color, which add a tactile, handcrafted warmth to the familiar character. It’s the sort of cheerful, nostalgic image that brings a casual, sunny note to a room and lightly evokes the relaxed spirit of aloha without losing Disney’s timeless charm.

Monte Trevor Carlton was born in 1972 in Olympia, Washington State. Although he took up painting in high school, the first artistic passion that Trevor embraced was acting. He decided to forgo an art scholarship in favor of attending a dramatic arts scholarship at Skagit Valley College.
Trevor next attended the Lee Strasberg Acting Workshop. The following year he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Amidst the chaos of auditions and callbacks, Trevor paid the bills by working in a custom furniture store, specializing in antiquing and faux finish designs.
It was here that a style was born. Using reclaimed lumber as his "canvas", he started painting images of vintage Americana with subjects ranging from pop icon celebrity to the hey day of jazz.
After numerous gallery shows in Los Angeles and private commissions he has now combined his unique style to that most American of symbols, MICKEY MOUSE. Along with a series of classic lobby card paintings, he has also created a performance piece that has him painting a large canvas of our favorite Disney characters in a matter of minutes.
