| Working in a Los
Angeles art supply store while attending art school, Morgan Weistling often showed some of
his own work to noted artists whenever they came in. One such customer was a famous movie
poster artist. As a result of their chance encounter, at the age of 19, Weistling began a
notable career as an illustrator. He became well known in the film industry for his
illustrations whose amazing celebrity likenesses promoted movies and their merchandise
such as Anastasia, The Santa Clause, Last Action Hero, The Lost World and countless
action thrillers. The list of movie stars whose features Weistling has flawlessly captured
reads like a stroll down the star-studded sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard, and his
clients have included many major studios. In addition to movie posters, he has designed inspirational, nostalgic and science fiction collector plate series as well as artwork for Sega pinball machines. He also created all the cover artwork for the video series, McGee and Me for Focus on the Family, and his art can be seen on numerous magazine, book, CD and video covers. The winner of many awards from the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, he has taught at the Associates in Art. Weistling, his wife, JoAnn, who is also an artist, and their daughter, Brittany, make their home in California. Recently, when Weistling turned his considerable talents to fine gallery art, he found himself unable to keep up with collector demand for his originals. His amazingly realistic paintings and religious subjects make the viewer feel like an eyewitness to an unfolding scene due, in part, to his experience in the film industry. Weistling thinks like a skilled cinematographer, envisioning himself as part of the scene that he is painting. He then visualizes how it would look on the movie screen. With his masterful use of oils, he makes the transition from his imagination to the canvas, bringing the scene to life with spectacular lighting to fully involve the viewers imagination and emotions. Whether capturing unforgettable moments from the big screen, images inspired by his beliefs, or little scenes from daily life, the art of Morgan Weistling engages the mind and touches the heart. |
