A life spent making things.
I’m Johnny Otto, an artist, filmmaker, and designer. For more than 30 years, I’ve worked across painting, film, animation, and visual design, following ideas wherever they lead.
Here you’ll find original artwork, films, brand campaigns, characters, and imagined worlds—alongside photography, music, and Art Squat Magazine. Different mediums, all part of the same creative life.
