The obligatory Halloween post

 

Happy Halloween! And what a year it's been eh? There hasn't been much improvement since my last post, but here we are. I'm still doing the same old stuff but drawing is still my escape out of reality and somehow what keeps me sane during these hard times. 

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to promote my NFT collection, not really to make any money but to somehow have a group of people collect my art if possible, that'd be amazing.

I made some progress on the final episode of Escuadron 37, but there's still so much work to be done there. The script is complete and 90% of the voices have been recorded, which is fantastic. I just need to sit down and spend more time on it...

The photo above was my last minute Halloween costume idea, which turned out to be great!

I'm also looking at moving cities, will keep you all posted. Oh and I'm flying to Europe for a month and a half, I may write from there.

Have a fun time!

Mid-year update!

Well it's been a long time since I wrote here! It's for sure been a crazy year for me, after spending almost four months in my home country of Argentina, I got back to the US and took me a while to finally decide to rent a place again (instead of keeping travelling). I'm now settled again for the time being -- which will probably last one or two years until I go crazy once again :)

But what about my art? As you have seen, most of this time I spent outside of Seattle, I did not have access to my Wacom tablet. In fact, it was just resting in my car's trunk for the longest time! So ink artworks were the only solution to survive, but it worked out! I think I drew more than ever before during this period though. I'm back to the digital days now, without forgetting about inky doodles in between!

I also uploaded the whole original Escuadron 37 series (in argentine spanish) to my Instagram account, feel free to go check it out. I still need to add subtitles to the episodes, I think only the first few got them so far.

Finally, I created an NFT collection for my digital art on OpenSea! I'm slowly adding more and more, and will probably feature most digital artworks coming in the future. I'll also be adding links to the NFTs in their corresponding artwork pages, together with direct interaction to the ethereum blockchain if possible! Go check it out for now: Okcerk's Digital Masterpieces

That's it for now, I'll keep you all posted! Have a great summer!

Everything I know about life & more: A coloring book

Aaaand to beging the year with hugely massive exciting news, I just released my first coloring book on Amazon ! I have no words to tell how excited I am about this. (by the way here is the link: GET BOOK )

While spending a few months with my family in Argentina, a conversation about my art and website came up during lunch time. At some point I said I should create a coloring book and well, turns out my little sister is a soon-to-be graphic designer and so she got right into making it happen. Really, nothing could have happened without her, so I'm super thankful. We got together trying to decide which drawings were going to make the cut and ended up picking 28 from the already created ones, plus two that would have needed to be drawn in the coming days. These were all drawings from the last three years, since I started my instagram account and my current website. 

At the same time, I came to know about Amazon KDP: an amazing platform where you cannot just publish your eBooks in a very simple matter but also they'll do all the work to get your paperback book ready. So I created and account, got the templates downloaded and after one month the book was ready to ship (or upload :P ) on February 8th!

This has been the best possible start of the year and cannot wait for future projects!

PS: I have also made a bunch of changes on my website recently such as adding a brand new menu, merging the inktober section into the Ink section (and removing some doodles I didn't like) + creating a new section for the book itself.

Til next time!
