Otto has worked in editorial illustration since graduating in 1991 from Bristol Polytechnic in Graphic Design. After a Masters in Illustration at Kingston University in 1996 Otto was amongst a handful of Illustrators pioneering a conceptual graphic style based on screen print and collage, often accompanying texts on the internet revolution. Otto’s image making is derived from Russian Constructivist design, which provided the visual backdrop to the political revolution in Russia 100 years earlier. During his career Otto made countless illustrations for numerous international print publications including The Guardian, The Independent, The Times, The Economist, Libération, Le Monde, The New York Times, Der Freitag, Cicero.
