Your local psychedelic freak.
Happy to meet you, I’m Nik! I’m a comic artist, animator, designer and editor with an emotive, punchy, and psychedelic flair, illustrating both digitally and with pen on paper. I’m bigender(He/She).
I’m all about character design, character interpretation, and storyline ideas. I love placing special emphasis on characters and the way they’re created and that moment when they emerge from simple ink strokes, and making forms that manifest their inner being. You will have exquisite comics, still drawings and animation that tell colourful, exciting, and dramatic stories - and if that’s not in your fancy, there’s always video editing, motion graphics, and general design.
If you need someone to make comics, design characters, concept art, produce animation or make sprites, art assets and UI elements for video games, ol’ Nik will happilly oblige you!
I’ve exhibited comics and illustrations internationally and won awards, everybody adoring my flexibility of style, and drawing everything from Franco-Belgian and Amercian-inspired to anime/manga-style comics, and also making graffiti and demoscene artwork. There’s always generally an emphasis on vibrancy and cuteness as my favourite artistic direction, although I also work gritty true-crime, film-noir kinds of illustrations for hit multi-million subscriber Youtube channels, and I’ve also designed podcast art, logo art, game art, and written game lore.
Before this, I used to work for five years for my university as a video producer and editor, working on all stages of production and including motion graphics and special effects. You can see one example of my filming, editing and effects work on the showcase video to the left. Today I still work on video editing on occasion: I work with popular indie groups when making music videos, and also provided splendid 2D handdrawn animation for Youtube channels, music artists, documentaries, and environmentalist initiatives.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that my videos have a “music video”-ish sensibility to them.
I always like fueling my inspirations. My biggest sources of creative energy are the 1960s counterculture, the Beatles, psychedelic art, science fiction, high fantasy, the demoscene, and films, video games, comics and music of all kinds.
I’ve shown you my fantasy. Want to show me yours? ;D
