I loved the symbolism of this piece, to a fault. I just couldn’t find the right project to pitch a spiked warrior’s skull with the third eye open. Thankfully the apocalyptic fantasies of MÖRK BORG came at the right time for damnation. The originail oil painting is available.

There are many interpretations of what [Paimon] can bestow, but I’m quite fond of the idea of him as a merchant of secret knowledge, your experience of course, may vary. So I illustrated him as a wanderer sporting forbidden and dangerous goods across the desert.

Character portraits as illustrations for Ania Ahlborn's "Brother". These illustrations are meant to complement a lovely disturbing novel, a bit of a fantastic counterpoint to the rawness of the text.

The story "The White People" of Arthur Machen has a special place in my heart. Just did this cover for a new illustrated edition with aditional tales inspired by it.

How I ended up working with one of my favorite authors! I read the book “The Ritual" by Adam Nevill, and did some fan art. Posted the image on social media and someone tagged Adam the comments shortly afterwards and started working on the cover art for his novel “The reddening”.

I’m incredibly honored to announce I created a book cover for one of my favorite authors, Ramsey Campbell! It’s a special moment for me, because it’s a traditionally painted piece, which feels like a validation to the hard work I put in my craft.
