The Art of Okse

Hiya! I’m Okse – Welcome to My World!

This is the ultimate destination for all things Okse. Whether you’re looking to commission bespoke artwork, buy unique comic book covers, comic strips, pet portraits, or explore a treasure trove of Oksefied goodies, you’re in the right place. Take a browse around – it’s a pretty cool site (if I do say so myself).

A Bit About Me

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. My first taste of artistic praise came in primary school when I sketched a deep-sea diver, complete with goggles, breathing apparatus, and seaweed (of course!). That drawing earned me the title of “Seaweed Specialist.”

In school, I spent more time doodling in lessons than I probably should have (sorry, teachers!). Shout out to Mr Hayden, who encouraged me to draw cartoons in his English class. Yes, English – cheers for that, Sir!

I later studied art at Stourbridge Art College. Let’s just say, the art world is a confusing place, but it taught me important things like shading negative space (eventually).

TikTok: Home of the Popular Guess Dat Ting

When I’m not creating art or running comedy nights, I’m hosting my hugely popular TikTok show, Guess Dat Ting! This interactive, fast-paced Pictionary-style game has captured the imagination of a growing audience, and we’ve built a wonderful, welcoming community that keeps coming back for more.

Here’s what makes Guess Dat Ting so special:

• I draw random things live, and the audience races to guess what they are.

• It’s packed with laughs, creative thinking, and surprises – the audience’s guesses are sometimes even funnier than my drawings!

• Fans love the show, and the community is growing rapidly as more people discover how fun and addictive it is.

But it’s not just about the game – it’s about the people. The Guess Dat Ting community is a place where everyone feels part of the action, where regulars cheer each other on, and new players are welcomed with open arms.

Think you’ve got what it takes to Guess Dat Ting? Pop in during the next live show and join the fun with @oksecomedian on TikTok.

From Gaming to Galleries

After art college, I joined the games industry, working on epic racing titles for LEGO and the BAFTA award-winning Sydney 2000! I even got my hands on a BAFTA (but let’s not discuss the photo – it’s bandwidth-heavy).

In 2005, life threw me a curveball when I was made redundant. A friend suggested I take up painting, and I thought, “Why not?” My first piece was of legendary comedian Bill Hicks, combining my two passions: comedy and art. My work gained traction, flying off gallery walls and boosting my confidence.

Going Solo

A few years later, I decided to represent myself. Social media became my platform to connect with fans and collectors worldwide. One of my highlights was being part of Anthony Gormley’s One & Other installation on London’s Fourth Plinth, where I drew live requests for an hour. (I came second most-viewed because someone got naked!)

Since then, I’ve created art for collectors globally and even some well-known names.
