Oskar illustration Signs Jamie Edler

Jamie presents an idealised world of intimacy, humour and vibrancy for life, told through a warm and slow-moving lens and narrative. There is a stillness in his work that is intriguing and comforting whilst at the same time slightly unsettling and thought-provoking. Delicate and approachable, Jamie’s work has a subtle surrealism within which he creates soft and sensual imagery. Jamie is interested in portraying curiosity in the mundane, in unheard conversations and humorous social commentary.”

On joining Oi! Jamie said “I loved all the artists that OI! represented and felt that each was very unique and different. I recognised a place for myself there and felt that Oi! also saw my work the way I hope people do - with open minds and arms. With the industry often being quite a lonely place for freelancers, it’s nice to feel that you have the support and advice behind you that I feel Oi! provide for all their artists.” 

Oskar Illustration founder Oli Roberts commented: “When Jamie submitted his portfolio I was immediately drawn to his eye-catching subject matters ranging from fashion inspired illustrations to still life scenes. He has a signature style that is unmistakably his. The beautifully considered colours, textures and compositions Jamie uses makes the work impactful and memorable.”
