Infected by Art Book - Volume 13 Judges

Jeff Echevarria

Jeff Echevarria, a New Jersey-based artist and designer, specializes in working with charcoal and graphite powder, and pan-pastels. He pursued studies in Advertising at the Spectrum Institute for The Advertising Arts. He completed a Comprehensive Illustration Course under Carl Lundgren. Since then, Jeff has been freelancing in design and illustration. His portfolio encompasses wine label design, tattoo design, and illustrations for reputable companies such as White Wolf Magazine, Dragon Magazine, Ars Magica, and Game Of Thrones Compendium. Jeff's artwork has been featured in esteemed publications, including Centipede Press and Suntup Editions. Furthermore, his illustrations were selected for inclusion in Infected By Art Book Volumes 3 through 12.

In 2020, Jeff's illustration "BEAUTY AMONG THE BEASTS" was chosen as part of the "ENCHANTED, A History of Fantasy Illustration" exhibition at the A History of Fantasy Illustration" exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum.

"Jeff Echevarria is a designer artist who uses graphite powder and charcoal to create the majority of his works. The man is clearly a gifted visual storyteller and someone who breathes in invisible worlds that exist in his imagination and is open to people's ancient stories and myths, creating worlds where magic and wonder are commonplace, the almost divine feeling of creating a universe so far removed from the bleak reality that it becomes uncontrollably attractive.

Not only are Jeff Echevarria's creations technically perfect and enchantingly beautiful, but they are snapshots taken in the middle of a story that knows no boundaries, unorthodox but in which there are always elements that make people dream and caress their imagination, arousing emotions is the primary task of art."
