A prolific and gifted artist, Carbee’s work hangs in galleries and private collections in Europe and North and South America.

A succession of multimedia projects led Carbee to participate in music videos and movies, and his work can be seen in films by Robert Altman, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Al Pacino, Julian Schnabel, Richard Donner, and Ang Lee, among others. His film credits include Men in Black, Eraser, Donnie Brasco, Conspiracy Theory, The Ice Storm, and Basquiat. Carbee worked on several television projects in New York including Saturday Night Live, Good Morning America, Sesame Street, Regis and Kathy Lee, All My Children, and One Life to Live. Among his television credits, Carbee’s work provided the prototypes for the original Mutant Toyland of Pee Wee’s Playhouse. His production design for the music video of Michael Jackson’s Grammy Award-winning single "Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough" features Carbee’s miniature set design and original animation. He has created artwork for special events and industrial shows for such recording artists as Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, The Clash, Elvis Costello, Joe Cocker, Cheap Trick, Meatloaf, Earth Wind and Fire, Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand, and the Rolling Stones. In 1996, Carbee turned his hand to filmmaking. He wrote, produced, and directed the short film I’ll Be Yours Forever, for which he was honored with a nomination for the Discovery Award, presented by the New Hampshire Humanities Council to an artist working in a new medium.
