Hi, I’m Nic (better known around the web as ‘Nicolpops’).  I’m a fibre artist and illustrator, from Aberdeen, Scotland.  I specialise in character design to create one-of-a-kind designer plush toys.
The main materials I like to work with for my fibre creatures include wool felt, faux fur and wool roving – although I love experimenting and finding new ways of creating my unique creatures. For illustration work, I’m a sucker for fine liner pen with markers for colour, although I have started experimenting with digital art.
Inspiration for these creatures has stemmed from years of collecting toys, watching cartoons and playing video games - usually finding solace in characters that are typically the anti-hero. What I love most about creature making is when clients find one of my creatures that personally resonates with them and hearing their story.
After running out of space trying to create work from my living room, I joined the Northern Arts Club at the beginning of 2021, with a studio space which has now become a haven of creatures, materials and inspiration.
