Oliver Tsujino Art Journey: Introduction !!

Hello fellow artisans and art enthusiast!!:)

My name is Oliver Tsujino


Welcome to my blog, here i share everything and anything i know about art and my artistic journey, in hopes to help and inspire others on their own artistic pursuit and also for the opportunity to connect with passionate like minded people and make new friends along the way as we strive together in this life long journey.

Now a bit about me...Dont wanna bore you so ill keep it short and sweet :), I am a half Japanese and English artist from the UK currently residing in Vancouver Canada, enrolled in the Animation and Concept Art program at Vancouver Film School and striving towards finding a future career in the arts and entertainment industry. I have a life long passion for visual story telling and illustration, mainly in the field of fantasy and science fiction genre. I have also been a huge Game of Thrones and Lord of the rings geek for as long as i can remember. They have a been huge influence in my life and in work along with Asian culture , as you may have guessed by the following painting.

Along with what has already been mentioned above my soul purpose for starting this blog is mainly to connect with new aspiring artists and at the best of my ability and experience to support those who are struggling to find a path or direction.

 Now a foreword note in no way do i consider myself to be a seasoned professional in the industry or experienced artist by any regard, but we all have to start somewhere even the most high caliber professional artist would have possibly started out with small $5 commissions for their grandmas portrait, well that's where i started out lol. commissions have continued to have grown over time as i started to develop my skill and grow as an artist.

I believe we can all learn something from everyone regardless of skill level or experience, that is why my hopes for this blog is not for you to take my word and for me to say of what you should or shouldnt do at a literal sense but more to see it of as an eye opener or a opportunity to create an open discussion for everyone to learn from. Everyone's journey is going to be different there is no wrong or right way in the pursuit of ultimate artistry, however there are some certain obstacles in life that can hinder and eventually stop you from pursuing your goals.

I feel very lucky and fortunate to have met some very inspiring and incredibly humble and hard working artists unfortunately of artist i have no right to reveal their names. Almost everything that i put on this blog will be passed down by these artist who have helped me excel quickly in my artistic ability and have shared valuable knowledge that has pushed me and kept me motivated till this day and my goals are to passe those advice and tips to you and learn together.

Okay i have a whole agenda of topics and discussion for future blogs such as staying motivated, finding good, resources etc. I shall try my best to post weekly. feel free to comment for suggestion or anything you want to share email me @otsujino@hotmail.co.uk or you find me on
