Howsit
I’m a South African-born artist living in the Pacific Northwest.
I create from instinct — mixing bold lines, color, and moments from everyday life.
Sometimes planned. Mostly not.
My work lives somewhere between impulse and intention, pulling ideas from pop culture, movies, music, and the strange thoughts you get at 2 AM.
Work
Visual Style:
Colorful lines, flowing shapes, bold blocks of contrast, layered textures, abstract storytelling.Themes:
Life experiences, nature fragments, movie moments, hidden patterns, “chaotic but controlled.”Approach:
Freestyle meets half-plan. Ideas start as doodles, lyrics, or sketches, then evolve through Procreate, Photoshop, and mixed digital processes.
About
Based in the Pacific Northwest. His work lives somewhere between instinct and intention — bold lines, flowing color, and ideas that come from movies, music, and everyday moments. He draws from pop culture, nature, and the scattered curiosities that spark inspiration at random times.He’s been making art since he was a kid in Pretoria, sketching, doodling, and learning to follow his gut. Today, his style mixes abstraction, humor, and vibrant detail — pieces meant to pull you in, let your eyes wander, and make you ask, “what the f?”Niellies keeps things loose and playful. His art is for people who enjoy discovery, hidden details, and a bit of chaos. Whether it’s through prints, tees, or digital work, he creates from instinct, fueled by color, curiosity, and soundtracks he probably can’t name.
