Carlton’s paintings combine a distressed, wood-like appearance with a fresh, contemporary style. He accomplishes this by first painting a faux wood finish onto normal canvas. Once this is complete, Trevor paints the character and scene over the finish. He ends his process by removing some of the paint with sandpaper. This gives his work a sense of nostalgia, which he considers appropriate for Disney characters.

Quotes
"I want people to imagine they found my artwork in some old run down movie theater basement. Unpreserved and forgotten, an antique bearing the nostalgia and character that only time can bring." [ [http://www.collectorseditions.com/disney/artist.php?aID=508carlton Behind the Canvas] ]
