ATELIER Vincent De Nil

Vincent De Nil giving his talk 'Creating the World of Kaiserreich' at PDX-CON Berlin, 2019

I build worlds and the companies that make them real.

Belgian founder and art director, working between Stockholm and Raleigh, NC. I create alt-history worlds (The Divided States, WW2044, American Kingdoms) and build the companies that fund and make them grow: the Kaiser Cat Collective and Flagmaker & Print. Occasional video game modder.
