He combines traditional visual elements with the vibrant colors of digital works to create distinct 2D images and video.

Nicholas Grdina is an alumnus of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. He began refining his illustration skills as a freshman, and became truly proficient in video and animation work in his sophomore and junior years of university.
