Welcome to Don O'Keefe Art
When I was a kid, we were outside all the time.
From morning to night, we played games. We played war and cowboys. We explored. We created worlds within worlds. Time was forever then. The day seemed so long, and it was a good feeling I can't explain. You know those times. We didn't lock the doors, we knew everyone within miles. I want that back, but I can't get it.
You can still dream though. So this is the way I dream. I'm glad I have this ability.
I can share it with you. I am hoping this art will inspire you in what ever you do.
Yes, we're busy with life and all. Take some time to do what you want. Just do it. I made many excuses to myself for so long. I did so much of everybody else's work. Deadlines, we know. Life, sometimes we don't.
Illustrated Electric Art and more.
Influenced by 1950's Sci Fi. Terrified as a youngster by classics like "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "The Body Snatchers", I looked under the bed and behind things, spooking myself. Watching "The Twilight Zone" and worrying that I might be the next passenger on "To Serve Man".
We all live with our own fears, but some of us create more than we need. Now I've come full circle from "etch-a-sketch" to traditional painting and drawing to totally "Illustrated Electric". I carry this over to my art and the stories yet to come.
I decided to create a business encompassing fine art and commercial art and design. Using my knowledge from years of experience dealing with deadlines and primadonnas, I wanted to bring to the general public my philosophy of hard work, deadline orientation and customer service.
Over the years I've worked with every business venture from sales to construction, ad agencies to non-profits. Giving the client concepts and designs to fit their needs. Finishing on time, every time, with fair market pricing. No double speak. No hype or “attitude”. Get the job done, do it well and make the client happy.
An unique ability to see in what direction the market is heading. Helping clients not only with graphic design, but consulting with them on the direction they should take with their product, their story, their idea. A true partner.
