Phaidon Nicola is returning to our Artists’ Alley for another year!

Phaidon Nicola is a self taught illustrator/animator from Cyprus. He is inspired by movies, tv shows and video-games. One of his current projects is a youtube channel where he uses animation to talk about movies, tv shows and video-games. He doesn’t like talking about himself, so he let his work speak for him.
