- About Me:
- 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 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 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 · event posters · invitations · commercial labels and logos · menus · Hebrew and English calligraphy.
Of course, you may also purchase any ready-made items you see in my portfolio, including · t-shirts · aprons · prints · notecards.

Art Nouveau, Relaxation and Pretty Pictures
Last night my dog got out. Neighbors across the street sought to corral her back into my house lest she run into the street. Run into the
street she did whilst a large truck approached. The truck stopped just
in time, but poor Belle was so scared she ran right into the… Continue
