“Led by a desire to craft worlds, illustrator Nathan Deiwert (dye-wurt) creates imaginative creatures and characters that coincide with one another. Deiwert is driven to come up with new ways to develop familiar concepts in the form of paintings, digital illustrations, and visual development. From fear-inducing entities to happy moments, he creates work with thought and explores new ideas.

For Deiwert, active research is a considerable portion of the process of the creation of his art; be it artistic influences past and present, anatomy, or cultures. His favorite influences are presently Frank Frazetta, Norman Rockwell, N.C. Wyeth and Maxfield Parrish.”
