April 2021

What a freaking year it has been! Can you guys believe its been over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic started?! Also……. it’s been 11 months since I have posted an update on this blog.

I guess a good start for this blog post would be to thank you guys for your support. 2020 turned out to be a very productive year and already 2021 is starting out just as productive.

This past year I made my first ever pin “Boo” who is the cutest little vampire ghost you will ever meet. I also was commissioned to paint some jackets which I was absolutely stoked for. On top of that, I had the pleasure to make and paint some of the largest pieces I have ever made. Did I mention that I actually completed Inktober? Yup, that’s right, I did 31 inkings in October without missing a day. Truly, I had so many new projects and firsts in 2020. It’s so amazing that this community has challenged and supported me through this difficult year.

Let me know what you guys want to see more of this year. As always you can contact me through instagram or my email. Talk to y’all soon.

May 2020

Well friends, where should I even begin. These past few months have been off putting to say the least. We have all been trying to transition to a new normal and that is definitely a difficult task. I myself have been struggling during this transition and have been preparing for the future. I hope to blossom during this time and come back a stronger and more determined artist.

As of now, all events in the foreseeable future have been cancelled. I am hoping that late this summer I will be able to see you all at Art Walks and Art Shows. At that time we will have a new social normality but I am hoping that wont deter you for I will do my best to be at events.

I want to take this time to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. For those of you that purchase my art, you are helping me live out my dream. On that note, new stickers will be coming to the shop soon! Also, I am available for commission work at this time. If you are interested in getting a traditional or digital painting feel free to send me an email at OmarHurtadoArt@gmail.com.

Best wishes,

Omar H.

Happy New Year friends!

This year is going to be awesome! I plan on attending different art walks and showing my art more. You guys will be able to catch me in Riverside, Pomona, Redlands, Palm Springs, Long Beach, and Temecula! I plan to go to all of these artwalks/shows by the end of this year.

I already have a few pieces I am working on and I cant wait to share it with all of you. I will have more products this year and I am looking into making my first ever pins! Big things are happening! Thank you all for your continues support. I appreciate every single one of you.

July Update

I hope you guys are having a rad summer thus far! The heat is making me melt but the cacti and butterflies are flourishing. Lucky them!

Currently I am working on a few projects, one of which is a zine! Shhhh! Only those of you that read this post know that my first ever zine is coming soon! I am working on other projects also so expect to see my first zine available sometime in September. If you stay updated on my social media you should be able to figure out the theme that this zine will be! I can not wait to share it with you all!

May Update

Hey everyone! I wanted to give you a guys a quick update with what’s been going on and what’s to come!

I have been working nonstop to create new products and grow as an artist. I am trying to become the best artist I can possibly be and I find myself not finishing pieces because I improve and just move on to the next.

I want to bring you guys pieces of art that I stand by and believe are the best.

I am currently working towards creating another sticker pack and a few more prints. Today I have released a new print entitled “Slay The Beast” which is now available in my shop.

I will be at the Riverside Art Walk on June 6th. I hope to see you guys there! As always I want to thank you guys for your constant support and encouragement!
