Francis Minoza is a freelance digital artist from the Philippines who works in collaboration with his older brother, Laurence Minoza, under the name Nicebleed. Active since 2008, the duo produces digital artworks that combine 3D elements and still imagery, drawing recurring motifs from science fiction and natural forms, including astronauts, skulls, animals, and celestial environments. Their compositions are built through layered digital processes, resulting in visually dense images that balance surreal imagery with carefully constructed spatial depth. The recurring astronaut motif in their work stems from a fascination with space documentaries and visuals of nebulae and galaxies. For Nicebleed, the astronaut is a subject or expression intended to draw attention to the "imaginary visual space." The faceless nature of the astronaut is meant to reflect human society, acting as a "no-face" figure that allows viewers to see themselves through the artwork, adding an element of mystery to the visual idea.
Alongside their artistic production, Nicebleed operates as a professional design practice, distributing their work internationally through online platforms. Their artworks are available as physical prints and objects in many formats. Over time, their images have circulated widely online, reaching a broad audience beyond gallery contexts and establishing the duo as a consistent presence within the global digital illustration and design ecosystem.

Resting in a yellow field, lost in quiet thoughts.
