Hi, my name is David Brown, also known as “Your Nordic Artist.” I’m a 31-year-old Norse pagan and I’m the artist for Ghost Viking Creations LLC. I am son of the owner, William Brown, a decorated retired military veteran with a military career of 20+ years. Having a cocktail of mental health “disabilities” such as: ADHD, depression, as well as being on the autism spectrum, I don’t see them as “disabilities.” I have changed my outlook on life and shifted my perspective to allow myself to see my “disabilities” as superpowers. I’ve always been creative, and I’ve never really book smart by any means. Infact my grades were horrendous in school, and I never went to college. Instead, I opted to go to trade school for carpentry and construction. I excelled in woodworking, and I enjoy creating and building things with my hands. When I graduated, I started working at a home improvement store. I was scrolling through social media one day and saw a street performer doing spray paint art. I was very intrigued with the process and the amazing outcome and decided to watch tutorial videos on YouTube. Suggested videos popped up on wood burning, ring making, wood turning, and various other art forms. I got the tools and dove in headfirst. I began with spray paint art and quickly expanded overtime. With years of trial and error and practice, I decided to turn a hobby into a business. I have a ton of ambitious plans and ideas to continue expanding my skills and learning everything about everything I do, with no plans on stopping.

I hope to inspire and encourage anyone with mental struggles to change their perspective and show them anything is possible.

Don’t allow anyone’s opinions hold you back from achieving your dreams.
