My name is Jacob Odrowski, I am a freelance artist and illustrator from Toronto, Canada. I work mainly in traditional mediums including acrylic, watercolour, ink and graphite. I also create art digitally in raster and vector programs.

In the past I have found it difficult to explain my artwork. I often relate it to genres such as sci-fi, fantasy, surrealism and psychedelia. I have always had a very active and visual imagination. Therefore my main source of inspiration comes from the images that appear in my head. When I focus on my art I go to a place where I can see surreal worlds filled with strange creatures. I don’t know if what I am seeing is a manifestation of my emotions, my subconscious or something else. Never the less I try to bring to life what I see and feel inside. From that place I can best express myself through my art. 

Outside of my work I love listening to music, drumming, video games, skateboarding and snowboarding. I also love spending time in nature, to be inspired and feel connected.
