Nils Osmar, illustrator: Sf and fantasy artwork:
photorealism and surrealism

I've made my living in the arts since 1986, working as an artist, writer, filmmaker and teacher.
My work as a visual artist has included:

portraits & caricatures
fine art and commercial art
book and magazine covers and interior illustrations
realistic/representational drawing and paintings
sequential storytelling: comics & graphic novels
(hand drawn, and computer generated)
cartoons and humorous illustrations
SF and fantasy artwork

This page has examples of my photo-realist and photo-surrealist artwork.
The artwork was created using a combination of methods.
I usually started by drawing an image in pencil, painting parts of it in acrylics, then scanning
in the hand-drawn artwork and collaging it with photographic elements in Photoshop.
The comics (below) were are from stories that were published in Europe by
Italy's largest comics publisher, Egmont. All artwork © Nils Osmar 2010
