Pyros
I am extremely fascinated with culture, history, art and occult symbolism and their relationship with art. It was this fascination and passion that drove me to studying theology and also fine art. I make sure that every work of art that I create is inspired by a mythological story, character or symbol that intrigues and inspires me. I spend most of my time researching and planning designs through reading mythological history books and articles in order to understand the story from many different perspectives and create art that brings the story to life. I consider myself a unique person with a complex personality.

My work often includes decorative patterns calling back to eras of humanity’s greatest societies - ancient, mysterious, mythical and rich in not just visual language but secrecy.
Spells, knot-work, magical symbols and runes being some of the elements I reach for; creating a visual feast thats highly elaborate and intricate. A single drawing can take days to finish!

Corvo
It’s difficult to describe exactly what I do because I love to change and experiment on new things: My journey started off as a self-taught cartography illustrator and with learning simple 3D moulding skills; I have now worked on book illustrations, video-games, tabletop games and minis, 3D moulding and printing, linocut and wood carving, cosplay and a lot more! Despite my love for the steampunk and cyberpunk genres, my main inspiration has always been Norse mythology, Wiccan magic and above all the horror stories of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft and Edward Gorey.
