Link below: www.ncruz.com Tribute repaint to honor the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's death It has been 20 years since the passing of Lady Diana Spencer and her memory still burns ever so bright in our hearts for the People's Princess. I am pleased to share my latest tribute to honor her 20th death anniversary, a truly sad day for all. Created out of a Franklin Mint Princess Diana. The doll on the far left is how the doll originally looked. Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area . Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise. -- acrylic paint and ultra fine brushes (Note: I am not in any way affiliated with Franklin Mint company) |

Artisan Crafts interview with *noeling
An interview with noeling, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us!!
1) First off, please introduce yourself? Who are you, where are you from?
Hello everyone! My name's Noel Cruz and just like all of you, art has been my life long passion. I was born as well as raised in the Phiippines. English is part of standard education so I am blessed to speak both our native language of Tagalog as well as English. I am the third of 6 boys (that's right - all boys!), so growing up was chaotic. My other sibling also possess natural artistic talent. It's rather sad, however that none of them nourished and pursued quite the way I did.
2) How did you get started doing your craft?
Being raised in a relatively poor family in the Philippines, I grew up without the comfort of material things. I found comfort and satisfaction from immersing myself in imagination. At the onset of my adolescense, I discovered and I had a particular fon

Vampire Diaries Damon custom doll repaint
Note: This doll is currently up for auction for 3 days only. Click on link below to view the ebay auction:

FOR MORE OF MY ART, PLEASE VISIT MY WEB SITE AT WWW. NCRUZ.COM . Link below:
www.ncruz.com
I use Tonner Doll Company's factory produced Damon Salvatore doll. The left-hand photo shows the doll in its original factory state.
As with all my creations, I completely strip the original factory paint on each of the dolls, and completely repaint the facial features in, paying attention to accuracy of likeness and lifelike expressions. The doll also underwent extensive hair rework for authenticity and to match the proportions of the face.
Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area . Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.

As a Filipino, I am deeply saddened by the recent devastation that has befallen my country, with many towns decimated and thousands killed from the recent worst ever recorded typhoon in history that ravaged the Philippines a few days ago. It would be a disservice if I didn't take this moment to call to everyone for whatever assistance, help and support we can extend to the victims of this horrific disaster. I feel grateful and honored for your support of my art, but we are first and foremost human beings and I have faith in the power of humanity especially in moments of real crisis.
Many thanks to everyone for allowing me to reach to you and your hearts so that we can come together and help those who are suffering.
Below is a link to relief organizations where we can send help. Whatever we can give, even prayers, will go long way in helping our hurting brothers and sisters.

As an artist, I strive to always challenge myself and push the boundaries. My passion for hand painted miniature celebrity figures stems from my love of portraits, which has been my whole artistic arc since childhood. The satisfaction of not only the ability to recreate a person's likeness but to recreate it in lifelike 3D miniature form (i.e. dolls and action figures) is one that I consider immeasurable. Repaint is not your standard mainstream artistic arena, but I am extremely grateful that it has been gaining recognition for the last 10 years. Repaint is a portrait taken to a whole other level. Current Residence: California (with Philippines as my proud original residence) Favourite genre of music: Pop Rock, Ballads, Disco, Instrumental Favourite photographer: leibovitz Favourite style of art: realism Operating System: My emotion and body of knowledge! Shell of choice: The external human body! Wallpaper of choice: I prefer faux-painted walls Skin of choice: Human skin Favourite cartoon character: pinocchio, seven dwarfs Personal Quote: It\\\'s not where you reside externally, but where you reside internally that matters! |
