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

Doll Repaint of Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins
This one of a kind repainted doll is currently up for auction on ebay. Auction ends in approximately 2 hours. click on link below to view ebay auction:

This celebrity doll repaint was inspired by Julie Andrews' classic Disney character of Mary Poppins.
I used a 16-inch Mary Poppins doll here produced by Robert Tonner Doll company - a very nicely made facial sculpt but the facial paint left much to be desired. So, I completely removed factory facial painting and hand painted it to more faithfully replicate Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins. The doll's hair has been extensively restyled to more accurately represent the character's hairstyle from the movie.
The inset photo on the top center shows the doll as it looked originally before repainting.
Repaint is an artistic transformative process, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area and most importantly faithfully replicating the lifelike features of a particular celebrity or personality in doll form. Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.

I used a 16-inch vinyl Sybarite ball jointed doll produced by Superdoll of London. (Top middle inset photo shows the doll before the custom repaint. Sybarites are high-end collector ball-jointed dolls that are capable of achieving lifelike poses. This makeover required complete removal of the original factory facial paint on the doll and repainting it in the likeness of Angeline Jolie. A brunette wig was carefully chosen for the doll and then custom cut and restyled for this makeover.

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.

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! |

Your dolls look truly human, and you manage to keep them out of the uncanny valley. It's fascinating.
omg after hearing about BTS mattel dolls are coming out, I came straight here. I can see price skyrocketing if you repainted them.
Your work is insanely good!!! I haven't seen doll repaints as good as yours.
I look at ur stuff and wonder just how hard it would be for someone like u to do My Chemical Romance doll repaints maybe?
Idk, just keep up the good work!
