Exploring the Fresh and Spontaneous Illustrations
By Carla DLM
Florian Nicolle, also known as neo, is a French illustrator who has been working as a freelancer since 2009. His illustrations are known for their fresh and spontaneous style, while also maintaining a level of technical skill and precision in the drawings.
Nicolle's approach to illustration is characterized by the use of expressive lines and a mix of different mediums, such as newsprint, colored ink, and pencil. He then finalizes his works digitally, creating rich and frantic portraits and sports illustrations that seem to fly off the canvas.
Over the past few years, Nicolle has been tapped by some of the world's largest brands, including Nike, Under Armour, the NBA, and the NFL. Despite his success, Nicolle still finds time for personal work, as he continues to create illustrations that push the boundaries of what is possible.
One of Florian Nicolle's most notable projects was his series of illustrations for the NFL. As part of the project, Nicolle was commissioned by the NFL to create two illustrations for the Wall of Hollywood Park, which features illustrations of important figures in the history of the NFL. Nicolle was tasked with creating detailed illustrations of Reggie White and Vince Lombardi, capturing their unique personalities and playing styles. The final illustrations were highly praised by both fans and the NFL, and they have since become iconic images of the league.
Nicolle's work has been widely recognized and praised, and he continues to be a leading figure in the illustration industry. His unique approach and style have made him a sought-after artist, and he continues to inspire others with his work.
