The platform of Instagram has been integral to Ortiz’s
social development as an artist. He first began publishing his
images in 2013 and since then, the exposure and ability to
reach people around the world have led to working with fashion
designers for couture collections, worldwide campaigns, and
even working with some brands on Instagram. While very
selective in accepting proposals, Ortiz had never imagined
working on projects such as these on his own, and he is very
grateful for these opportunities.
“Now I have the possibility to work for myself,” relates
Ortiz, “I have worked for major brands, and I have projects
outside my country thanks to Instagram. It has been a very
good leap for me because I have a lot more creative freedom
when I work on my own.”
Now, Ortiz’s illustrations are for sale printed on paper, small
mirrors, magnets and cloth bags, as well as commissioned
work for clients.
“I would like to work exclusively on my own,” says Ortiz,
“Focus on my online store and commission as an illustrator
for my clients.”
