This is the part no one sees.
Messy sketches. Exaggerated expressions. Figuring out how to make a character feel something.

One week. One goal. To get better.

Not random. Just creatively unhinged in the best way.
Every object here started as a loose idea and turned into a bold graphic moment. This is what happens when playful illustration meets intentional design. Perfect for brands that don’t want to blend in.

[Chris @ChrisNixt]

Every final illustration starts here.
Exploring emotion, form, and storytelling through rough skull sketches because strong visuals come from strong foundations, not filters.

It’s Christmas… but the deadlines don’t stop.
Sketching, revising, exporting all with holiday music on repeat. If you’re a designer, illustrator, agency, or small business owner… you feel this. This is what a real creative work day looks like during the holidays.

Hello! With over 25 years of experience as a graphic artist and illustrator, I have honed my art to include a touch of nostalgia and whimsy.  I thrive on incorporating every creation with a sense of joy and wonder. It would be fantastic to connect and work on future projects.

Deadlines, doubts, and design breakthroughs. This is the unfiltered designer workday messy drafts, caffeine fueled focus, and making ideas actually work. If you’re building a brand, running an agency, or deep in the creative grind you’ll feel this.

Ever wonder what really goes into a killer illustration? Before the final artwork, there’s a lot of thinking, sketching, and problem solving. WIP sneak peeks that show how ideas really come to life.

[Chris @ChrisNixt]

Ever wonder what a day in the life of a designer really looks like? From early morning workouts to sketches, I captured it all. The grind is where the magic happens and this isn’t just a workday, it’s a workflow story. Watch, relate, and tag someone who gets it.
