Oliver Jeffers has made soo many paintings. Such as the painting on the right. I have never seen someone do crazy things like he has done on his painting. It is a paint of a person with black plain background which is not big of a deal, but the white lines that are drawn on to the character makes it interesting. Because it looks like it is point at really important parts of the body, when in reality its not. This design did pull my attention a lot, and maybe I can use this same idea to do my poster.

I really love Oliver Jeffers' style. I love the way he points out some fun stuff. Like for example he has equation on top of the light bulb that he has painted. When i saw the painting, the first thing I did was research what the equation is for. I Googled the equation and got a result as , it is used to calculate the wavelength of a de broglie electron.
So from his painting, I learned an equation that may not be any useful to me but he just increased my knowledge. This person has inspired me a lot that I would make my own response to his work.
