Faraway Lands
American Art Collector|June 2018

The illustrations of Adam Oehlers seem almost imbued with magic, a fantastical rendering of whimsical fantasy worlds with characters and subjects that remind us of stories we dove into as children.

Faraway Lands

The U.K.-based artist’s upcoming show, The Wilderlands, runs from June 30 to August 4. The exhibition showcases primarily pieces that blend pen, pencil and watercolor, resulting in artwork that looks as though it’s come straight from the pages of Aesop’s Fables. Having worked with these mediums for years now, the illustrator says he rarely strays from them, allowing him to continually refine his technique.

Living the Dream

Counterintuitively, David Gluck was a painter before taking up tattooing little more than a decade ago. While skin is a completely different substrate and ink a far cry from oil paint, the skills must be transferrable to some degree because there is a wait-time of nine months to get an appointment with him.
