About

Hi, I’m Nico Thompson—a friendly, motivated Illustration graduate with a strong foundation in character design, storytelling, and visual world-building.

I love developing original concepts and adapting art styles to suit different audiences and genres, bringing ideas from concept through to print-ready publication for comics, book covers, and educational materials.
