About Nadhir Nor
My name is Nadhir Nor and I am an illustrator from Malaysia who is very much interested in all things otherworldly. Mythology, lost traditions and its relationship with modern society are some of the major subjects that I love to explore in my works. I believe that something about finding the otherworldly in the mundane and vice versa is what makes a story worth to be told and I hope to share as much magical body of work as I can to the world.
I am available for any editorial, album art, conceptual and any other visual works, you can contact me at
