Hi there! I'm Nicolas Viau, a professional artist who's been working in the industry since 2021. I created this company because I've consistently excelled at getting hired and monetizing my artwork. Now, I've created my own path and made a way for creatives to get careers in the industry they love: art. As creatives, it’s easier to make artwork than to sell it. Let me show you how.

Who I am
-
I believe in keeping things simple, smart, and human. Every class starts with listening to your goals and ends with something you're proud to have learned.
-
I believe human-made art is an amazing skill to master. Demonstrate effort, respect, and passion in your work. No one’s a bigger critic than you are of yourself. Be kind, you’re learning.

What began as a suggestion from a friend has evolved into something more. I’ve been a professional artist and teacher for many years, but this is special to me. I’m even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets me apart isn’t just my process—it’s the individual care you’ll get.

After graduating from high school, I finished a diploma in Illustration and Concept Art, a post-graduate diploma in Visual Development and Entertainment, and multiple university-level classes in graphic design and kinesiology. During my education, I worked throughout it in the industry, working as an artist for AAA and indie studios on video games, board games, movies and TV shows. Now, I work as an art teacher and freelance artist here in Ottawa while running my own business.
