 Noah Elias is an American artist, known simply as Noah, he works within the fine art community and custom art scene. He is best known for painting the Suki art car in the 2 Fast 2 Furious movie, but he is also a widely collected painter of Disney Fine Art. Noah soon took his art to the streets, painting portraits of celebrities on canvas for huge crowds outside neighborhood coffee shops. This celebrity exposure made Noah an overnight star within the art community. Soon after, corporate clients like Lexus, Levi's Jeans and Toyota were asking Noah to enhance their corporate collections and ad campaigns. In 2004 he garnered international fame for his paint job, or "rolling canvas," on the Suki car in Universal Pictures' hit movie, 2 Fast 2 Furious. He has since won "Best Paint" at S.E.M.A. 4 years in a row for the "rolling canvases" he created on behalf of Alpine Electronics. Now, Noah devotes a substantial amount of his time towards creating Disney Fine Art,[5] a mixture of his unique style and those beloved Disney characters. Due to his success as an artist, he founded Noah University to teach other creatives and artists how to make a career from their work.
