My name is Charles Ott and I am an artist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Welcome to my gallery of pen and ink drawings featuring the landmarks and scenes of Pittsburgh, as well as historic landmarks of the United States.

The collection displays the beautiful architecture of colleges and universities, in addition to prominent industrial and commercial structures created all by hand in stunning vivid detail.   The illustrations make unique gifts for Christmas, college graduations, birthdays, retirements or that Pittsburgh sports fan.

Steel City Artist Blog

In February, 2010, I launched my personal blog, Steel City Artist Illustrations, http://www.steelcityartist.wordpress.com   My blog features an educational and historical perspective on the creation and stories behind each of my illustrations.  The blog also presents the influential people, places and fascinating history which has come to define the city of Pittsburgh.  Lastly, my blog captures the unique creative finds which I unearth and the stories that enlighten and inspire those who follow me from around the world.  You will find a wealth of resourceful local and national links whether you are an artist or visiting the city of Pittsburgh.
