Oliver Sin
United States
Oliver Sin is an alumnus from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA, with a BFA in Illustration. Right after Oliver graduated in 1996, he started his art career as a computer game concept artist at LucasArts. From 2001 until now, Oliver has returned to his own school to be an art professor for the School of Fine Arts and 2D Animation so he has over 21 years of professional teaching experience. Oliver has been so drawn to art even as a little boy, he once recalled that he started drawing at the age of 3. Somehow, portraiture just seems to be his favorite form of expression which I constantly practice, not only as an art professor but as a favorite hobby as well.
Oliver's first art book, “Drawing the Head for Artists” is published by the Rockport publisher in 2019 and two of his portraits were commissioned and featured on the cover of the Time Magazine as part of their "100 Women of the Year" project, March 2020 issue. Oliver's vine charcoal portrait of his dad has won the First Place Drawing and People's Choice Awards of the International Portrait Society's portrait competition out of 2660 international entries on May 8, 2021.
