15 Awesome Artwork Inspired By Icelandic Myths

Thor, Odin and Loki are the first mythical characters that come to mind when we’re asked about Nordic mythology. And even that’s only because of their popularity and affiliation with the comic book, not because we know the actual myths. But even with a vague knowledge about the Icelandic mythical past, we know that their stories are filled with fantastical creatures that can make your blodd run cold. After all, we are talking about Vikings here. No pixies and unicorns for them.

Icelandic artist and painter Asgeir Jon Ásgeirsson has truly managed to capture the essence of these fierce mythical creatures. Drawing inspiration from Icelandic Sagas and the music from the Icelandic metal band Skálmöld he created artworks so awesome that will make you search for the whole story behind the painting. His work is also used as cover for the albums of the band he drew inspiration from.
