Electric Boy and Spark Pugs!

Posted on August 14, 2015 by Brian Oakley

Several months ago after exploring Pinterest, I was inspired to create some cut paper illustrations. Some good friends of mine decided to move to Texas, so I decided to make a little cutout illustration of their son and my dog to give them as a going away gift. The story behind the illustration is their son once said “Mom, I can’t sit still, I’m Electricty!” We all thought it was hilarious, and these pictures are the results.

Introducing the Black Superheroes!

The Team

Saving the day!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post a little update about what I’ve been working on lately. Back in February I was approached by a local writer to illustrate a comic book called Introducing the Black Superheroes. The comic serves to illustrate and commemorate 10 black superheroes that were derived from American ex-slave folklore.

It seemed like a fun and interesting project to be attached to, so I accepted the offer. I had about a month to design the characters and illustrate the 24 pages of the comic in order to meet the release date in April. It was a lot of fun and a really mind opening experience to create a comic from scratch. The comic was officially released on April 11th at One Spark in Jacksonville, Florida; and is currently available on Amazon.com.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out and I hope you enjoy it!
