Hello and welcome to my part of the woods! My name is Vaggelis Ntousakis. I was born in the island of Crete in Greece where it is also where I live and work. I have been a quadriplegic since 1990 due to a diving accident. I have been fascinated by all things horror, weird and creepy since a very early age when I used to spend hours losing myself in the paintings of Bosch, Goya and Bruegel. When I was eleven years old a book full of horror stories fell into my hands by chance. I discovered Robert E. Howard, Arthur Machen, August Derleth and others but my biggest and most amazing discovery was the unique works of H.P. Lovecraft. I had been drawing long before that but suddenly the bleak environments of Lovecraft’s stories full of creepy crawly things started to bleed into my childish pictures. I began to hunt everything fantastic be it in literature, movies, music, graphic novels and art in general. I fell in love with the 70s and 80s genre of splatter B-movies and the gorgeous stories of 2000AD like Slaine, Judge Dredd and the 13th Floor. Fast forward a decade I studied Graphic Design and started my own business in 2000. At the same time I have been honing my skills in Illustration taking on commissions along my personal projects. I have had a few years of traditional training before moving on the digital medium. So, if you want anything Horror, Fantasy or SciFi related send me a mail and I will give you a quote depending on complexity, size and time required. Deadlines are not an issue. All paintings will be digitally made but if you want them printed and sent to you there will be additional costs for printing, framing, packaging and mailing. Thank you for looking and remember that if you have it in your mind I can paint it for you!
