About Me |

~*~*~*~*AVAILABLE NOW THROUGH IPOP MAGNETS~*~*~*~ http://www.ipopshop.com Retailed in museum shops and fine bookstores the world over! Welcome to Octavine Illustration! My goal is to construct a world of retro images based on the classic Art Deco form. I garner inspiration from the sensuous lines of Art Deco haute couture, classic silhouettes of sleek sophistication. Imagine the 1930s era of Hollywood beauty queens, the Chrysler Building and the Duesenberg. Style and craftsmanship reigned supreme, nurturing the creation of a product solely for its beauty. That is Octavine Illustration. With gouache as my medium, I craft fonts and images which are uniquely original and completely hand-wrought. My images are then transferred to silk-screens to produce the bold colors you see in my art on cloth or paper. I do not use digital technology to alter my images in any way. As a result, my creativity is not bound by a machine. Custom orders/commissions are always welcome. Services include Concert Posters Invitations Commercial Logos Menus Hebrew and English Calligraphy Ketubah Wedding Invitations Of course, you may also purchase any ready-made items you see in my portfolio, including Tees Aprons Prints Moleskine Journals and Notecards octavineillustration.etsy.com Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade octavineillustration.etsy.com Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade octavineillustration.etsy.com.. .. ..
