About Me
- Name: Greg Oakes
- Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Greg is a Winnipeg-born artist who has loved drawing ever since he was old enough to grasp a crayon and destroy his parents' furniture. His influences range from, Looney Tunes, the Muppets and Mad Magazine, to the likes of Robert Crumb, Brian Froud and HR Giger. Greg is a 1993 Graduate of Red River College's 'Advertising Art' program, and has worked professionally in the graphic arts industry ever since. His portfolio is decorated with an eclectic mix of print media illustrations and designs from billboards to product ID labels, and much more. He has been sketching caricatures for various special events such as corporate parties, weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs since the early 90s. Greg currently lives in Winnipeg with his wife and three daughters.

"Caution, This drink is Fucking Hot!" I want that on a t shirt. Awesome stuff sir Oakes.
I've been horrid on keeping in contact, remind me to email ya sometime :)
Hi there, found your blog through Shaunna Peterson's...I generally love looking through people's sketchbooks and yours, I have to say, is now a favorite. Dig your stuff. ;)
No problem! I just started my own art blog on here and I've found some amazing stuff through Shaunna's page. It's nice to network with other creative people, as there is a serious lack of those in Kentucky....;)
Nice work indeed!
I like the Flintstones' reference in the nudie girl sketch ("I'm hip, I'm hip!").
Love it!
