East-27 :: The art of Olga Ulanova
 

Olga Ulanova
Freelance Designer and Illustrator
Los Angeles, CA


I am an artist with interests in fantasy, traditional and fashion illustration. Art nouveau, ukyo-e, art deco and copperplate art have been great influences for me, and I really love incorporating these elements into my work. Anime and manga have definitely left a lasting mark as well.

What I enjoy the most about art is the creative process: catching the spark of inspiration and developing it into a finished work. The exhilarating part is thinking about the character and their personality, how they would "pose" or behave in a picture, what they wear and where they're located. Composing the image to create a dynamic arrangement of all the elements, and most importantly telling a little story with every image.

Currently I am studying the art of storyboarding at Concept Design Academy in Pasadena, CA.

When not working, I like to hold nap marathons, travel whenever I can afford to, loose myself in a good book, stage a valiant effort to exercise regularly, and make out with my much beloved, if obligatory, cat (seems like every artist has one, doesn't it?). I am hopelessly fond of books and stationery supplies, and am an optimistic Gemini at heart. ^_^/

 

Prior to June 2007, I have created under the name of Olga Bosserdt.
