Studio Noon: Where Art Meets Film
Who’s behind Studio Noon? Just a duo whose names start with N, which also means noon in Arabic. But the story goes deeper.
We fell in love, started painting for fun, and somewhere between a brushstroke and a laugh the idea hit: what if we shared our art with the world?
Prints were just the start. Soon it was shirts, pins, frames. One-line art inspired by movies. Geometric takes on classic painters. Before we knew it Studio Noon Inc. was real, carrying all the joy, fear and excitement of starting something together.
By day one of us works in film and teaches screenwriting. The other leads in tech and makes sure everything runs smoothly. Studio Noon lives in every spare moment, sketch and shared spark of inspiration.
We create for people who love art, film or both. Proudly Canadian.
What We Make
Studio Noon brings art and film together in bold, minimalist designs.
Reimagined geometric paintings inspired by iconic artists
One-line art from unforgettable films and shows (coming soon)
Our first three paintings will never be for sale. We keep them with all their imperfections to remind us of the journey.
❓ Poll: Will 2026 Actually Feel Like 2016 Again?
Be honest… do you feel it too? The energy shift, the nostalgia, the music, the vibe. Some people say 2026 is about to feel like that era again. Others think we are stepping into something completely new.
Cast your vote below and tell us why in the comments. Is 2026 giving throwback energy, fresh start energy, or main character energy only? Your opinion matters and we want to hear it.
Which era would you choose and why?
💖 Final Glow Up Tips
- Start small but stay consistent
- Listen to your body and your instincts
- Don’t chase trends—create your own
- Celebrate every small win
Your 2026 glow up isn’t just about looks….it’s about confidence, energy, and feeling unstoppable. Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and dive in. This is your year to shine!
