ABOUT THE ARTIST: Tom Matousek is a San Francisco-based, award-winning artist, who began his artistic journey by studying cartoons as a child and in a short time, could draw almost anything from memory. “I have lots of memories of staying up late with my brother and friends, watching Creature Features, and drawing anything we could get our hands on—the sports page, baseball and football cards, beverage cans, and cartoon characters. I would stay in my room for hours creating my own cartoons. From the time I was a kid, it was my dream to be a Disney artist.”

His meteoric rise as a prominent mural painter soon landed his artwork in the homes of professional athletes, high-end restaurants, and at AT&T Park, home of three-time World Series Champions, the San Francisco Giants.  These commissions soon drew the eye of San Francisco’s world-renowned theater district, where Tom began a career in Set Design that ultimately led him, in 2010, to win a Shellie Award, the East Bay’s version of the Tony’s.

Most recently, Tom has painted for Pat Benatar, Neil Giraldo, former SVP of Google and current Softbank CEO, Nikesh Arora, and TOMS founder, Blake MyCoskie, in addition to countless portraits of celebrities, world leaders, and global icons. With all of the famous faces to have graced Tom Matousek’s canvases over the years, it is only fitting that he now turn his deftly trained brush towards one of the most iconic faces in the entire world, Mickey Mouse, thus making his childhood dream of being a Disney Artist come true.
