His traditional and digital illustration training together with his study of realism as well as stylization form his distinct approach to the creation of his artwork. In 2019, Christopher achieved a degree in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. During his first year attending the university, one of his pieces was shown in the annual Spring Show. It was there that the art publication Creative Quarterly discovered his work and featured it in their 45-46 double issue. After which, he was named one Creative Quarterly’s top 100 illustrators of 2017. Christopher lives near the mountains of Pacific Northwest, in the hills of the expanding city of Eugene, Oregon. He lives with his partner of nine years, who is one of his largest sources of encouragement and inspiration. Currently, he does commission work ranging from portraiture to photo restoration for private clients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502312786-6E2TFAMXRGCC6MIFXD2A/Batman+Skyline+CLASSIC+Phase+I.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502308024-S5JR15EMKY90YU8C35XR/60min+Portrait%2C+Female%2C+Hairstudy+2018.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1588724414541-YUCMAH5Y70SJ63DIZVBC/Rabbit+Sprite+%282%29.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502311359-3VT53JSEO598IQ48G4IF/Portrait%2C+Male%2C+Old+II+2018+SMALL.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502283543-L71V9TDA06YTY77MGKWF/Atohi+-Seasonal+Forms-+Clothed.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502303757-O09AI1DDEZ7N20E5SPMR/20min+Clothed+Gesture+Drawing%2C+Front%2C+Female+SPRING+2017+SMALL.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502281897-0VG9B9K65MJDO0Z9ND0J/Niyol+-Base+Form-+Logoless.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502284194-75RH2W5X9RCFNUF0BK7I/Gesture+Drawing%2C+Back%2C+Male+FALL+2015.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502275110-BXK68IZE9C2WIWNXJSJ2/ex_8_1_Christopher_Rusin_night.jpg About https://www.rusinillustration.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589504233625-6MQTUHM62HOU6TAY6C9O/FO+Sith+Trooper+Helmet.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589504215817-1MWNO32PVEB2MGLPCY10/assignment13_1_Rusin+copy.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589504434600-JPO68GGMY9GATL0UET1R/6_1_Rusin.jpg Contact https://www.rusinillustration.com/photo-restoration daily 0.75 2020-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1588821807757-7T5W58L42056KVR8W2R3/10_crusin.jpg Photo Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1588821829425-1WKK9I8O6YF8A42XAGGS/photo_repair.jpg Photo Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589073977463-KY564H7I7T5ATXLKLQJ9/xtra+credit.jpg Photo Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589073901780-XXMU895ESXMS7IFR9LXC/10_crusin_xtra_credit_2.jpg Photo Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589425125626-7NCY7P72CB65BHN6H0FJ/DBPhotoRestoreOriginal.jpg Photo Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589425156303-LNGYIPR7GTJ9OAPF7X7F/DBPhotoRestore2.jpg Photo Restoration https://www.rusinillustration.com/product-designs daily 0.75 2022-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1654128882323-IHFR835DASA9G4TZGPFT/work-111543004-iphone-soft-case%282%29.jpg Product Designs Rainbow Mandala https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1654128640462-XXD4U9KVY031BO2S89MT/work-105687988-essential-t-shirt%281%29.jpg Product Designs Pho’-Get About It! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1654129205367-MA5EVHO7BPG5NMRZHWWU/work-105124619-throw-pillow.jpg Product Designs Calico Kitten Throw Pillow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1654129453585-KK11XNEV19OEN6GKDYET/work-98343903-art-board-print.jpg Product Designs White Flowers Still Life Art Board Print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1654130429689-91S5AEHAER67O17QMA0C/work-111960176-spiral-notebook.jpg Product Designs Water Mandala Spiral Notebook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1654129836790-SFPEU59591EPSQ9LOYYF/Cartoon+Tiger+Mask+%28Orange%29.png Product Designs Tiger Snout Mask https://www.rusinillustration.com/digital daily 0.75 2020-05-15 https://www.rusinillustration.com/digital/gothamknights monthly 0.5 2020-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502716300-A8SIADD1YETAGTKB9U5C/Knights+of+Gotham%2C+C+E+Rusin.jpg Digital - Gotham Knights 2020 Some of my first drawings ever as a child were of Batman, so after many years I decided to try my hand at it once more. https://www.rusinillustration.com/digital/portraitvariations monthly 0.5 2020-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb09f9858f06e526a41b9e4/1589502759787-ZEB0FJ7AVHQGT3D30T5U/Portrait+Variations.jpg Digital - Portrait Variations 2018 Variants of a single subject.
