Olaf Hajek


Remember how exhilarated I was a few weeks ago about Ron van Dongen's flower photography? Browsing through the Dutch magazine More Than Classic I remembered there is another artist that has always had the same kind of effect on me except not with photo's but with incredible illustrations. Perhaps the name Olaf Hajek rings a bell, he has illustrated for major magazines, advertisers, books and stores throughout the entire world. His colorful, detailed works with blown out proportions are fun, crazy and beautiful. Entering his website these two eye-catchers made me so happy! I could share his entire portfolio here, but that would probably not be a good idea. I couldn't give a better advice then to go have a look yourself and keep your eyes open in the magazines for his new works.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

  1. Christel, these are amazing, especially the first one! So vibrant and real, it's hard to believe it's an illustration. I just visited his site and his work is impressive.

    I know your Fridays are busy, so good luck tomorrow! And have a wonderful weekend! xo

  3. I remember that guy as his artwork is always popping up, just didn't remember his name. Such an amazing attention to details. I really like the book covers on his website.
