Personal Info
Welcome to Octavine Illustration! My goal is to construct a world of retro images based on the Art Deco form. I garner inspiration from the sensuous lines of Art 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. Custom orders/commissions are always welcome. Many of the images pictured are available through my shop: http://www.octavineillustration.etsy.com Please visit me on my blog to follow my latest projects and inspirations: http://www.octavineillustration.blogspot.comContacts of Octavine Illustration
