I’m Andrei Ausch, known in the collector community as “DRE,” an illustrator and painter working in the entertainment and collectibles space. Since 2016, I’ve created commercial sketch cards for publishers like Upper Deck, Perna Studios and Topps, contributing to licensed projects for Marvel, DC, Warner Bros., Paramount and Netflix.
I primarily work in acrylics, alongside colored pencil, airbrush, and ink. Influenced by artists such as Joe Jusko, Simon Bisley, Alex Ross, and Glenn Fabry, my work is rooted in realism while continuing to evolve through ongoing study and refinement.
I also have a background in graphic design and nearly 25 years of experience in digital marketing, working with both local and international brands. That foundation informs my approach to art, with a strong focus on visual communication, branding, and audience connection.
