Art & Inspiration letters from NIGHTEͶ (Nathan Guilhot)
This is not just a newsletter — it's my personal magazine documenting my creative journey.

Hello Reader :)
Yes, as the subject line suggests, I have some announcements to make today! It's something I've prepared for literally months and was too scared to tell you just yet, but I'm finally ready!
Let's not beat around the bush!
I opened my print shop!
Yes, finally! After giving away and sending prints for free for more than a year, I’ve decided to take the plunge and open an official shop where you can purchase my art prints.
Now you have the link and you’re still there, so let me tell you the story behind it :)
For years it was impossible to buy my art online, the only way was to bump into me in real life. But now I feel like the time is right. It’s so exciting, but also very scary to finally push the button. So if I have to, I might as well do it in a way that makes me proud!
Let me confess something: I’ve been writing and publishing this newsletter every week for over a year now, and gifting a free print every month to one of you. There was a hidden reason behind it (apart from making you happy!): each time, I used this to improve my print quality, the paper, different suppliers… but also packaging and shipping!
I didn’t know how to send a package before haha
I love to doodle on packaging :)
It cost a lot, as you can imagine, but each time I sent a package to one of you all around the world, I told myself that it was practice for this very day.
A bit of history…
Few of you know, but I actually had a shop years ago. But this was way different.
A supplier was taking care of everything, from printing to shipping, and I just had to make the designs and manage the website. But there were a lot of issues:
The quality was average, the prints felt too thin and too much like a poster.
Production and shipping sometimes had delays I couldn’t control.
And, most importantly, the price was very high, not only for the items but also for shipping. People were paying too much and I wasn’t getting much — terrible for everyone!
But now this is completely different!
I’m taking responsibility for everything that matters, so I can give you the best quality for the best price. So we both win!
And most importantly, I truly believe my art has finally matured enough to be worthy of your walls :)
And you have early access!
Something very important that you have to know: the stock is VERY limited.
This is not artificial! This is because I’m the one packing and shipping everything, so I need to keep things manageable for myself. I’m just a human, not a corporate giant :’)
So, to compensate, I’m giving early access to every single one of you! I haven’t announced anything yet outside this Newsletter, so now is your chance to grab exactly the illustration you like!
And if you order now, you’ll even receive your print before Christmas 🎄. How cool is that? :D
Why now?
Honestly, I had this shop ready for months, but kept finding reasons to delay the launch.
Fear is a powerful thing, and it’s most persuasive when you can’t really tell it’s there: just a lingering anxiety, avoiding certain things, until you find another excuse to put it off. Do you feel it this way too? But at some point, you just got to take the leap, right?
When I told my girlfriend that I was finally opening this week, she just said, “Oh my God, finally.” 😄
If you appreciate what I create and would like to not only show your gratitude but also get a high-quality print to decorate your home, now is the perfect moment!
And if you cannot purchase right now, I'd be very grateful if you'd share the shop with others who might enjoy my work! ❤️
Thank you for sticking around to the end! I hope you’ll find something you love in this shop, and that it will look beautiful on your walls :)
Please contact me if you have any questions! You can simply press the reply button to this email or send one to contact@nighten.fr
We are back on the regular schedule next week: I’m in contact with a few suppliers to produce my zine, and I’m also preparing a potential exhibition! But that will be a story for another time!
