His unique abilities were even called upon to help solve the aspect ratio issue for the 2009 Blu-ray home video release of Snow White and the Severn Dwarfs. More on this below.
His Disney fine art portfolio is quite extensive, and he credits Snow White inspirational artist Gustaf Tenggren as being a major influence in his career. Often making use of high contrasting light and shadow, Toby's transparent watercolor compositions create warm striking images. His work can be seen at the Disney theme parks, and limited edition giclee prints on paper are widely sold through fine art dealers.
