"I started freelancing as a concept artist in 2004. By 2019 I was painting key art for Universal Studios Hollywood." — Jeremy Olenski
Before the paintbrush, Jeremy was a left-handed pitcher scouted by multiple Major League organizations. A career-ending arm injury redirected him toward drawing, sculpting, voice acting and puppeteering — the same instinct for character and performance now shows up in every maze creature and key art hero he paints.
Cover key art for independent PC releases — full concept-to-finish ownership on each.
Unpaid, uncommissioned, and painted purely because he wanted to.
From a pitching mound scouted by Major League teams, to painting key art for Universal Studios and Mattel — Jeremy builds characters for a living, on paper and off it.
Jeremy Olenski is a Los Angeles-based freelance concept artist, key art illustrator and voice actor. He started freelancing in 2004, and by 2019 was painting Halloween Horror Nights key art for Universal Studios Hollywood. His client list runs through Disney, Warner Bros., Hasbro, Mattel, Amazon and Nickelodeon — always starting the same way, with expressive black-and-white layouts before the color and finish arrive.
Off the tablet, he's a professional voice actor, puppeteer and on-screen performer — the same character instinct that shapes every maze creature and cover hero he paints.
Available for freelance concept art, key art and character design work — brand campaigns, game covers, or your next haunted maze.
