We Love Art


This is my submission for the A Better Tomorrow meets Art Bastard contest. Click on it to see more. The theme was "We love art" Art has so many faces and this design shows a few of them. One corner describes my own style while other characters resemble my influences, great artists and different forms of art. I had a lot of fun trying out some new styles. Most of it was handdrawn as a single piece. Go vote for it at www.abettertomorrow.com if you like it, it should be in the voting soon.

My album cover is close to getting finished, just a few more textures and I'm done.

Skulls and eyeballs


Everyone loves them! So I put them on an album cover. I think I'm done with the linework and it took like forever. Now I'll add some colors and textures. You have to click the image if you want to see more.

Nom Nom Nom


This is my newest design. The band loved it and told me to get in touch with their management. They liked it but I didn't get an approval so far. I'm still waiting for a final answer. Idrew random stuff at school and ended up with the sketch for this one. Like I said before it's a little bit cleaner than usual.

Today was a pretty good day so far. I didn't go to school so I could sleep a little bit longer. Other schools have an easter break right now so we can stay at home if we want to. So right now I'm pretending that I'm learning at home and I'm working on an album cover for a local band. I think I'm about halfway done with the linework. I'll go to their show tonight. We Butter The Bread With Butter will also be there. I hope they are going to sell their new panda shirts so I can buy one. I'm looking forward to that show.

There's a compliment thread on emptees right now. You have to write something nice about the person the person that posted above you. And this is what Chad Lenjer wrote about me:

Nils has been such a cool guy ever since I’ve joined. Definitely a dude to look out for, I love his persistence in taking his work to the next level

That really made my day and means a lot to me ^_^
