Kradnut

Hi, I’m Michael Steele, aka Kradnut. I’m a Bangor-based Irish digital artist creating minimalist artwork with clean lines, bold shapes & vibrant colours. 🎨 New artwork 🧪 Experiments 👀 Behind the scenes 💡 Creative projects Follow along and see what I create next 💜

“I'm coming for all of you!” 💜✨ My minimalist take on President Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica, brought to life by the brilliant Mary McDonnell. A character defined by strength, determination and some incredibly difficult decisions. #BattlestarGalactica

“I am Vlad Dracula Țepeș, and I have had enough.” 🧛‍♂️🩸 Such a pleasure meeting Graham McTavish and getting to show him my minimalist take on Vlad “Dracula” Țepeș from Castlevania. Having the voice behind Dracula sign my artwork made this one incredibly special. #Castlevania

“You leave me alone. I can have you killed.” 🎂😂 Seeing Patrick holding the artwork, complete with that ridiculous mountain of cake, was such a great moment. Having him sign it with one of Eoin's most memorable lines made it even better! #FatherTed

Sabrina Boukless and Emily Ring at Mini Con in Dundalk on 5th July 2026, as part of the Artist Initiative, where I was commissioned to create minimalist artwork of both of their characters from Wednesday. Sabrina played a Vampire Student, while Emily portrayed Young Wednesday

“You leave me alone. I can have you killed.”🎂😂 A little bit of Father Ted fun to kick off the weekend! My take on Eoin McLove, complete with that unforgettable cake jumper. Did this one purely for a bit of fun, and honestly, how could I resist recreating ☘️ #FatherTed

Part 2 of 2: Wednesday Addams. 🖤🕷️ My minimalist take on Young Wednesday from Wednesday, played by Emily Ring. Like the first piece, I was commissioned to create this artwork as part of the Artist Initiative for Mini Con in Dundalk on 5 July 2026. #WednesdayNetflix

Part 1 of 2: Nevermore style. 💜🖤 My minimalist take on the Vampire Student from Wednesday, played by Sabrina Boukless. The purple Nevermore uniform, dark glasses and red-streaked hair made this such a fun character to recreate in the Kradnut style. 💜 #WednesdayNetflix

Daughters! Come to me. 🖤🥀 My minimalist take on Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village. That enormous hat, elegant white dress, black gloves and unmistakable presence made her such a brilliant character to recreate in the Kradnut style. #ResidentEvilVillage

One Winged Angel. 🖤 A pleasure meeting Tyler Hoechlin and getting to show him my take on Sephiroth from Final Fantasy. Tyler wanted to pose like this for the photo because he said it made him look more “professional and engaged”. Clearly taking his signing duties very seriously!

Madam President. 💜✨ A pleasure meeting Mary McDonnell & getting to show her my minimalist take on President Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica. Having Mary sign the artwork, complete with a quote from Roslin, made this one incredibly special. 💜 #BattlestarGalactica

What is a man? 🧛‍♂️🩸 My minimalist take on Dracula from Castlevania. The flowing cape, red and black armour, pointed ears and unmistakable gothic presence made Dracula a perfect character to strip back into the Kradnut style. #Castlevania

One Winged Angel. 🖤 My minimalist take on Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII. The silver hair, black coat, single wing and legendary Masamune make him one of gaming’s most instantly recognisable villains, and an incredible character to recreate in the Kradnut style. #FinalFantasy

Born to kill. 🪖 My minimalist take on Private Leonard “Gomer Pyle” Lawrence from Full Metal Jacket. The shaved head, rifle and that unforgettable barracks scene made Pyle an incredibly memorable character to recreate in the Kradnut style. #FullMetalJacket

“Come now, don’t be shy. Show me your terror.” 🖤🩸 Such a pleasure meeting Maggie Robertson and getting to show her my minimalist take on Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village. I absolutely love her reaction to the artwork, Thank you, Maggie! 🖤 #ResidentEvilVillage

The new Captain America. 🛡️❤️ My minimalist take on John Walker, U.S. Agent, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That distinctive red, black and white suit, combined with his own take on the shield, made him a brilliant character to recreate in the Kradnut style. #Thunderbolts

The Fourth Doctor! 🧣🔵 At 92 years old, getting the chance to meet Tom Baker at a convention isn't really an option. I contacted his team through his website & had the absolute pleasure of sending in my minimalist Fourth Doctor artwork to be signed by Tom himself. #DoctorWho

Ruh-roh! 🐾💚My minimalist take on Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, one of the most iconic duos in animation.A little mystery, a lot of snacks, and two best friends who somehow always end up running from monsters. 🔎#ScoobyDoo

May we meet again. ⚔️💙 Such a pleasure meeting Eliza Taylor and getting to show her my minimalist take on Clarke Griffin from The 100. Having Eliza sign the artwork made this one even more special. Absolutely thrilled to have this one in the collection! #The100

Two absolute icons. 🛡️🦄 An incredible experience getting my minimalist artwork of Gaff from Blade Runner & Adama from Battlestar Galactica signed by Edward James Olmos. Having him sign both pieces makes these incredibly special additions to the collection. #EdwardJamesOlmos

It’s too bad she won’t live. But then again, who does? 🦄 My minimalist take on Gaff from Blade Runner. The sharp suit, long coat, fedora and unmistakable facial hair made Gaff a brilliant character to recreate in the Kradnut style. #BladeRunner
