Curios a go-go From medieval helmets
and armour to skulls and art supplies,
this illustrator’s studio is a collection of
oddities that delight the imaginationI’ve been a working illustrator for almost 10
years. During this time, my studio was a
room that lacked functionality and design,
consisting of old furniture and insufficient
storage space. So in 2018, I decided to
remodel my studio. I wanted a space that truly reflected
my needs as a professional artist and showcased the
things that inspired me.
The first step was putting in a laminate wood floor. I had
beige carpet in my old studio and it was a nightmare. Guess
what? It’s really difficult to remove black ink from a beige
carpet! As an artist, you must accept the fact that you’re
going to spill things on the floor, so make sure that you
have a surface which can handle the mess.One of Odin’s many names is Grimnir,
meaning the hooded or masked one. He’s
a shapeshifter, a man of many faces, and
I wanted to draw on that for this painting.I wanted a space that truly
reflected my needs as a
