Oh, the irony in Tim O’Brien’s conceptual, surreal, yet very life-like illustrations! Check out his version of the story of the Original Sin, wherein Adam and Eve are two amphibians, who have just crawled out of the primordial ooze, in order to discover the Tree of Good and Evil. O’Brien has garnered many accolades thus far, having had his work published in TIME Magazine, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, The Atlantic Monthly, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, National Geographic, Playboy, Penthouse, and The New York Times. Are you curious to know how his creative process unfurls? Learn from the artist himself: “I do a detailed drawing on gessoed panel. I work on sepia or grey half tone and draw with pencil, charcoal pencil, colored pencil, gouache. When that is done I use an airbrush to even tones and set the key of the artwork and add light and dark to areas. I then apply an acrylic coat to the drawing and paint over it in thin layers of oil paint. There, all the details and no secrets.”
