His illustrations are realistic-looking and a lot of them have a signature dark blue colour.

This is because he does his artwork using just one simple tool. A pen!

Yes. He uses a blue BIC ballpoint pen!

And the attention to detail is impressive.

Oscar’s first portrait was of himself, drawn using a pencil.

He also uses less conventional tools for his work, such as the ladies eye pencil.

But it’s his BIC pen creations that have us astounded.

What is BIC waiting for? Seriously, he’s an ambassador for their brand already!
