Between Heaven and Hell

This is an illustration of an idea Dr. Chronos had and that I decided was so brilliant I had to steal it.

Though I tend to like action in my roller derby pics, this is one of my favorites, so far.

Second Poster Illustration

The second illustration I did for Wasatch Roller Derby, the colors were changed a bit for the actual poster to match the team's colors. Working digitally makes all of that SO much easier.

First Poster Illustration

This is the first poster art I did for Wasatch Roller Derby.

I noticed an upcoming book about the derby : Down and Derby: The Insider's Guide to Roller Derby. Not yet out, but you can pre-order it from Amazon.

Welcome to my new blog

Hey folks,

Otto Nobetta here, roller derby aficionado and reff-in-training. I've had the pleasure and honor to be able to work with a local league on some of their poster designs, and I thought I might like to have a place to display some of this, and other, derby art that I have had a hand in.

Like most of us involved in roller derby, I have a 'real' life that interferes with my derby one, so please bear with me as post frequency will be rather erratic.

I'd like to start with my very first derby sketch, made to congratulate my then-girlfriend on her making tryouts. She introduced me to derby and the remarkable folk of the derby-verse.
