About Me

Q’plah! Welcome to Nerdy Nostalgia, the home of Cardboard Colin. 

Hi, I’m Cardboard Colin, the heart and hands behind Nerdy Nostalgia. I’m an artist and creator with an unshakeable love for all things sci-fi, fantasy, comics, and the geekier side of life. My creations blend the best of both worlds: hand-drawn artwork crafted with traditional media, and digital pieces shaped with modern tools.

You might know me best for my cardboard cosplay, a quirky nickname turned signature style. My pieces are playful, bold, and rooted in fandom, whether I’m bringing dragons, interstellar heroes, or fairy realms to life.

I live in Essex with my husband and our dog, Ted, who occasionally makes a cameo (usually demanding treats). When I’m not sketching or building, I’m diving into comics, rewatching space operas, or plotting my next project.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, thanks for dropping by!
