Otto.

Otto, predominantly print based illustrator. Very definite style. Wide ranging score of clients. Many projects. Years of work and development can be seen. Though the work has an obvious element of reused/old images, the aesthetics of the print, plus the actual use and style of print is not necessarily straight forward. Alot of print I have witnessed seem to appear from lazy artists where they do not consider the introduction of complexities within pure print based artworks. They also seem to strive for absolute perfection. Otto does not seem to do this. It is a pleasure to see and the aesthetics are one step beyond the slick bland works I have become accustomed to. the colour balancing is also damn impressive.






Watched him for a few years now. Had the pleasure of meeting him at an art fair where he was selling a few limited edition books and prints. His insight on the industry. Believe, move to where they are, keep trying, work hard, spend days just waiting. This illustration shiz is not something to be taken lightly. I got the impression it takes resilience, skin of stones, and confidence. I have never concerned myself with dreams of living of money made through my images. I doubt I would ever have the patience. Or the ability to tailor my visuals to the needs of others. Let me make this clear, I am not looking for a job in this 'industry' I respect and admire all that do. It is simply not for me. I merely look to enjoy to enjoy my own creations further, develop, become proud, make my own collective, book, website to compete with the rest. yeah.
