Final: The Duel!

Hows it going folks? Finally I had time to finish this illustration, it sucks that artist need a part time job to pay the loans and other stuff. I wish I had more time for my real work..ART!! Got to pay stuff some how..right people? Well enough of me complaining, here is my final piece. It took some time in coming up with my color pallet, but over all, I think I made it happen, tell me what you guys think.

Cheers,

The Duel!

Hows it going folks, I have been wanting to do a illustration on guns. So I did some research on famous duels, and I came about reading about the famous duel between Alex Hamilton and Burr. Two important people that one became a vice president and the other died in the duel. Enjoy!!

The Society Show!

Hows it going folks, I was so honor to be at the show. My piece was in the editorial part of the Society show. The show was amazing. Got to hang out with my friends and see awesome work by Sam Webber that won the gold award, Josh Cochran, Jillian Tamaki that won the siliver, Frank Stockton, Sterling Hundley, Gary Kelly and many more. Most of the artist were there at the show too. It was fun talking to these amazing artist at the bar up stairs in the society building. But thats not all, the most amazing part was standing near a original N.C. Wyeth illustration and speaking to Mark English at the same time. Good times!

I took a photo of myself by my piece. Walking a Monk!

The photo by the bar is a original Norman Rockwell.

The black and white figure is a original Saul Tepper. Bad ass!

I had more images to show but they got lost, at that
time in the Society they had a Harvey Dunn show, with his students.

I finally got my copy of Men's style Australia Magazine!

Hows it going folks! Finally got my own copy of the magazine that I did an illustration for after I got out of College. My first gig in the real world.... It was fun and exciting to work with this company. I remember during my school years, they always drilled things about art directors how they are tough on you. But thats not true, as long as you give yourself enough time to do the work and are punctual with their deadline then you have a happy art director. Well I leave you with my illustration, Its about people with autism and how they live their life's among us. Enjoy!

Sad........

Hows it going folks, hope everyone is drawing there hearts out. I have been very busy lately with promotion stuff, that I have neglected the blog. Sorry for all the readers with my lateness. My buddy Dustin and I had a invitation to be in a gallery show and I was very late in finishing the illustration. That I didn't have the chance to send it out in time. I finally finished the piece guys, So enjoy everyone. Its a piece about a robot that lost his love. Heart broken. A soul lost in a raining day. Tell me what you think guys, let me know if the pink is too much. Give me feed back, and I will diffidently do those changes.

Cheers,

Thats something to think about.

If you seen the new Jc Lyendecker book, you well see the quote in the beginning of the book.

Story boards!

Hows it going folks? Some times you get a job that involves drawing fast and quick on your feet. I did these story boards for this company called PUSH, they are based in California. Great people to work with. These drawing were for a pitch to yahoo company. It was fun to work on. The drawings are fast and no shade or balance between focus. It was a quick turnaround. Im not an artist that gets to many jobs that involves sequential stories. Its not my strong point, but when you get something thats out of your comfort zone, its nice to work on it. It opens new doors for you, new ideas. It makes you think as a comic artist. Well hope you like.

Poor Education

Hows it going folks!! I'll start with the weather, it has been beautiful these past days in my home town, MIAMI! Love the sun in my face and the smell of ocean in the morning. Just kidding about the ocean smell, I wish I could live by the beach, but its near me.
Well I'll start with these three illustration, they are all the same but I crop them. I need some help guys, witch one do you think fits better for the composition. It will be a lot of help if you give me suggestion.

I was contact by an artist name: Sean, he started this colaboration with different artist around the world called World Wider, the link shows the site we all work in, and the process we display. Also it introduces all the artist work. Come and see for your self, and if you want to collaborated with the group, your more that welcome. Check out the site.

The illustration was to illustrated what I depict wrong about the society I live in. I find poor education is something that I find wrong in the states. Mixing poor and guns and lack of education is something that must be focus on. So its a montage of elements in one peace. Not sure if that works all together, but why not, it was fun to do.

Cheers,

Oliver

this is the new one, with a slight color change.

I made it!! Into the Society of Illustrators!
