👱🏻 About
Meet the human behind the screen
Dazé Nikulásson is a writer, photographer, filmmaker, and walker from Reykjavík. He is tailed by an unorthodox international presence, having also lived in the south of Spain, central France, and the capital of Japan. Currently, he is back in his homeland gaining momentum — and hoping the volcanoes don't get to him.
One spring day, after years of repressing his 1001 inner worlds, he decided to chisel out this online haven as a way to liberate them and express his fragile soul like never before, unbound by anything other than his courage and his motivation to write — the former is a work in progress, the latter is an everflowing delta.
As revealed above, his path of choice is the dark and daunting artist's path. Has it been hard for him? *Sarcastic laugh* Has he managed to fool the gatekeepers and get his foot in the door? *Sarcastic laugh* Is he planning to pack up and give up on his dreams? Unfortunately, he cannot exactly ignore the calling.
Curious about his priorities?
In no particular order, they are:
- 👟 Taking daily walks
- 💼 Freelancing as an executive assistant
- 🎵 Giving music theory a second chance … after 17 years
- 🎬 Co-writing a miniseries
- 📩 Delivering now-and-then newsletters
Care for some trivia?
(First-person Dazé will answer these.)
🪣 Favourite colour?
Dark teal, like the bucket. (Answer only works if you use Apple Emoji.)
🧋 Coffee or tea?
Both — I go through phases. Currently, I favour beans.
🕹️ Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle?
Gotta catch 'em all, right?
☁️ Preferred type of cloud?
The cumulus is hard to beat. Cirrocumulus as a close second.
🕺 Singing or dancing?
… Are those the only options?
🐋 Spirit animal?
Oops — spoiled it with the emoji.
💭 Most recurrent pillow worry?
There's still a lot I haven't put into words yet.
More cannot be said on a page like this. If you truly wish to get to know him, I suggest you join his membership, subscribe to his newsletters, and read his collected essays. There is a reason he calls this site "the metropolis of my soul".
