OTTO

www.ottoillustration.com

Otto has worked as a freelance illustrator since 1991 and mainly illustrates newspapers and magazines, he also creates and self-publishes beautiful and intricate artists books and prints.

Influences are Russian Constructivist and Polish poster design.

Using photography, illustration and text, Otto creates visual narratives dealing with the mainly urban, cultural and political environment as well as mythologies in contemporary culture, including consumerism, work-ethic, self-destruction, and wealth.

As demonstrated in "Cashier Escape Route", Otto's work often depicts the primary narrative of shopping but also uses other myths, like the original sin, birth or death to act as secondary narratives.

The final work is screen-printed, ink-jet printed, or photocopied.
