Damien Giudice, aka nicedamien, is a printmaker based in a small village in Luxembourg. Throughout his teenage years, Damien became increasingly interested in music and art, and finished high school specialising in art. He then went on to study Communication Design at the Hochschule Trier (Germany) where he discovered his love for graphic design and print techniques.

Damien successfully graduated in early 2022, and has since been trying to make ends meet as a printmaker, graphic designer, and musician. He exhibits at many different creative markets, freelances as a graphic designer and photographer, and regularly plays concerts with Boy from Home or Creatures on Mars.

As a musician, Damien takes it as an advantage to design and print his own posters and merch. Aside from his music-based prints, Damien’s work mainly takes inspiration from nature. He tells us; “If I hadn’t studied art, it would probably have been something along the lines of natural history. The layout is especially important to me. It should look clean and uncomplicated. Mistakes happen often, the trick is to integrate the mistakes into the work.”

Damien’s approach to creating is fairly simple; he uses his iPad with the app ProCreate to sketch out his idea. Later, he prints it out on lime paper and transfers it to the linoleum plate. He then carves using his trusty Pfeil tools, printing onto different papers and textures using Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink in mainly gold and black.

Looking to the future, Damien hopes to soon start hosting workshops for children and adults in schools, and also privately. He aims to continue to expand and grow as a designer, combining his skills as a printmaker and graphic designer.
