Eric Tan is an American illustrator and graphic designer born in San Diego, California, and now based in Los Angeles. Raised on a steady diet of Disney animated films, Marvel comics and Star Wars action figures, he studied Graphic Design and Packaging at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where he learned to balance bold composition with narrative detail. After graduation he joined the creative team at Disney Consumer Products, spending over twenty years producing artwork and merchandise for Mickey & Friends, Pixar, Lucasfilm and Disney Parks. Working digitally, he builds dramatic action scenes and sweeping landscapes that feel both cinematic and warmly nostalgic, layering luminous colour and precise linework until characters appear to glow.
In 2016 Tan left full-time studio life to freelance, allowing him to explore personal projects and limited edition screen prints. His breakout series for Cyclops Print Works re-imagines classic Disney properties such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Steamboat Willie as vibrant, retro-styled posters that sell out within hours. Each design begins as loose thumbnails drawn on an iPad Pro, then refined into layered vector art that is separated by hand for traditional screen printing, ensuring every sheet carries the subtle texture of ink on paper.
When he is not drawing, Tan enjoys woodworking, gardening and riding bikes with his son along California coastal paths, gathering reference photographs that feed future compositions. By merging mid-century graphic flair with contemporary digital craft, he invites viewers to rediscover beloved stories through fresh, colourful eyes.
