When I first started drawing Nordic art I was a little directionless and pretty confused when it came to all the different art styles. Isars books on Nordic art really showed me the way and helped me develop the style I’m known for tattooing today.

Skal! The Viking Art Tome is epic! A fantastic guide containing historical style and background information for anyone interested in exploring Nordic themed art applied to craft - tattooing or otherwise. Thank you for making it!

Isar's books have always been a great source of inspiration for my work, from the very beginning until today. I can highly recommend "The Viking Art Tome" and also “Runes, Sigils & Bindrunes”. I really like the way he describes these topics and I can identify with them very well.
