Addie Joss Poster

  Hope everyone is doing fine on all there awesome projects! I just recently illustrated a poster for a baseball museum and they wanted me to make a tribute poster to a great baseball player Addie Joss. He played in 1902 to 1910, the reason I design this poster was to illustrate the day the All Star team and Cleveland team played for the remembrance of Addie Joss death and to raise money for Addie's wife and kids.   Hope you enjoy the poster!!

Baseball History

Paintings I did for a great museum, I illustrated two paintings one of a famous baseball player Josh Gibson and Casey at The Bat. 

Josh Gibson was know to be one of the greatest African American players that played in the Negro League also in the Major Leagues and was known as the "black Babe Ruth." 

Casey at the bat is a Famous poem written and Its a story about a "Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888" is a baseball poem written in 1888 by Ernest Thayer." 

I made a Time Lapse video of Casey at the Bat also, Hope you enjoy! Link: https://vimeo.com/100864259

Hope all is well with everyone!!

Its been a while sense I've posted anything in my blog. I wanted to share a project that work on for a company called Creative Arts.  This company is amazing to work for. This particular project involved a little bit of history of baseball.  I created and illustrated 6 images that you see here that are illustrating the famous of all time players in the MLB.  Babe Ruth,  Ty Cobb, Joe Dimaggio, Jackie Robinson.

 The project was made for specifically for the St. Petersburg Museum. That section of the museum of this project was called Schrader's Little Cooperstown.  The design and layout they came up with was amazing.  Schrader is a man that always wanted to display his collection to a large audience so he finally did. He has been collecting signed baseballs sense he was a little boy. In this exhibition he has over 4,000 signed balls and more of all the famous players of all time. Its something amazing to see if you are a really big baseball fan!!  

  It was a really cool project to work on and I give thanks to Bill, he is the former Senior Designer and Project Manager that I had the privilege to work for.  I've also added some of the shots of the work I did as you see in the museum. Hope you enjoy!!

Hats of Time: Monotypes

I forgot to post these the other day. I've been working on some monotypes for my show. I've been experimenting with different techniques to achieve mono print.  I think these where the best of the batch I did. Hope you enjoy. I'll be posting more.  Thank you!

Hats of Time: Millinery Mother

One of the final piece for my personal show. Its called Millinery Mother, she's the creator of all Milliner's. Milliners were typically woman hat designers in the 1800s.  The origin of the name is likely the Middle English Milener, as in an inhabitant of Milan or one who makes or deals in items from the Italian city, known for its fashion and clothing. Enjoy! 

Hats of Time

Hey Everyone! 

Hope all is well, its been awhile since my last post. Im working on a series called Hats of Time. At the end of the summer Im going to have a three man show with Matteo Caloiaro and Brook Olivares-Caloiaro. So far I have two pieces to show. My plans for the series is to show the fashion and history behind wearing a hat and the symbol for wearing a hat.  Each piece of clothing you wear means something and for hats its the same thing, each type of hat means and has a history behind it.  More information to come about each piece, Please enjoy!!

Monsters night out!

Hows it going everyone! Its been a while since I posted anything. Here is something fun I did a little more than 3 weeks ago for a halloween promo book for Red Fox Literary Hope you enjoy!! Thanks for reading. -OD

Hows it going!! I've been very busy lately that I've neglected my blog. I just wanted to share with you my promotional package I've sent out to art directors last month. It was a fun project to do! So here is a little step by step photos of my package. It was design to fit at least 10 postcards. I made my own sleeve to carry the package after the little book was wrap around my poster that I design. So my idea was to look like a cold cut meat with paper wrap around it to protect it but when you unravel it its a poster that you could pin on your wall. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for blogging and hope we meet! Cheers, Oliver
