Oskar illustration Signs Jord O’Brien

Oskar illustration has welcomed an exciting new artist to its creative family, exclusively signing Jord O’Brien. 

Born in Manchester where he ‘lived forever’, Jord then travelled the world before setting up in Leeds where he’s enjoying being part of a growing creative community. 

Jord studied design and illustration, even dabbling in serious painting, before dedicating a decade of his life applying his craft as a graphic designer. 

During this time Jord honed a style which uses bold, simple lines and stripped back, punchy colour palettes. His love for double entendres, nature, aging tech and fun characters is infused in every project. Jord also loves to ride the streets on his BMX. 

On joining Oi! Jord said, “I had been thinking about getting an agent for a while, so when I met with Oi! and saw the amazing calibre of the artists they have under their wing, it all just made sense. It can be incredibly frustrating to navigate the illustration world on your own so I’m super excited and relieved to have someone on my side with the level of experience and knowledge that they have. Oi! have made me feel so welcome and ready to take on some new challenges and I’m really proud to have my work showcased alongside such great illustrators and animators”. 

Oskar illustration founder Oli Roberts commented, “Jord's style and narrative just really grabbed our attention. Funny, cheeky and with a strong signature style. Oh and Jord also animates. As with all of our other existing artists, he's got a great attitude and is ambitious to make unique work”.
