Peter Jantke - Traditional Artist

All of my life I have painted. I love oils, pastels and pencil illustration. Over the years the subjects may have changed but the passion and compulsion haven’t. The need to paint is always there. Being self-taught has made this journey my personal mission to express myself and refine my skills. My paintings and illustrations are always one-offs. Subjects vary from my own fantasy realism style to Australian birds and scenes, pencil illustrations, life drawing and kids art. 

Over the last 25 years, I use these traditional art skills and knowledge everyday in my commercial art applications. I started doing airbrush muraling on cars, followed by moving into digital applications including sign writing, technical illustration, cartooning and specialising in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
