Focusing on his own comic book characters and standalone artworks, his unique vision blends influences from the 1970s and beyond, creating a style that’s both nostalgic and innovative. Drawnsword has gained recognition for his work on Underground Extreme Metal album covers for bands such as Flukt, Cryptic Rising, and Duister Maanlicht.
