Skot Olsen



I am a huge fan of painting. That is my art of choice, although I have really been getting into photography. I googled painters and I found this acrylic painter, Skot Olsen. His work deals with human condition through paintings which are cartoonish in style with somewhat realistic rendering. I really enjoy the colors in his pieces. They come to life in a way. Although they are cartoonish, they are somewhat hilarious and depressing at the same time. I relate to his style of painting although it is not my personal style. I am a more realistic painter, but what I respect about him is that he is portraying what is real in his mind through these fantasy images. I feel that imagination is what creates fascinating artwork.
