Illustrator and Visual Artist

Georgi Georgiev is an illustrator and visual artist from Bulgaria. Despite having worked as a professional artist for over a decade, he started out studying law. After realizing it wasn’t his passion and becoming inspired by a comic book his friend introduced him to, he discovered his real calling: drawing. From there, he began teaching himself how to draw digitally through online tutorials and posting his work on art forums. He was quickly offered a job, which allowed him to quit law school and pursue his career as an artist.

Now Georgi works in the movie and game industry, creating everything from characters to magical worlds. He is known for designing characters with paper-like hair which he shares with over 50K followers on Instagram, and he has also designed book covers.
