Description It's so hard to find someone that is willing to take a commission on like this. Β commissioned a while back on this one. It's very soft and thoughtful piece. When I see it, it looks like Oskar is starting to discover some sad truth about the world.

Wow, he looks just like the boy in real life.

In some respects yeah! However, but I think the photo references for Oskar were "locked down" after this commission.Β

Wait, so is there an actual Oskar (as in a physical basis for him), or did I misinterpret this?

Oh, well Oskar is a 100% fictitious character. EPB has chosen a couple IRL pictures that sort of look like the way Oskar looks in EPB's head.

That's kind of what I figured. All things considered, I didn't think there was a real-life Oskar that somehow became EPB's character and the subject of many works by various people. I just wasn't sure if his appearance had a real-life basis.

To be fair, I think it was done digitally. I was careless in saying that. What I should have said was that it was done in the style of oils.
