Ha I never saw this thread before! I discovered Nick on Instagram, and have picked up a few of his weekday watercolors (shown below). He is talented in all media, but to me his watercolors are on another level.

Agreed, his ability to capture light and shade with such minimal brush strokes is fantastic. I've nabbed a few as well...

Having been able to acquire him for a pop culture piece just before he retired that area of his work was something I was very lucky to be able to do since I really loved his Struzan-esque style back them. I'm constantly keeping an eye on his new work waiting for a piece that appeals to me. His prices are still very reasonable.

It makes me so happy to see Nick getting some love on EB. Love that guy, and he's so incredibly talented.

I was fortunate enough to grab this piece for myself when it was made available on IG:




I'm excited to announce that we'll soon be releasing Nick's debut fine art print.

While we already have the image picked out that we'll be releasing, I'd love to hear which is everyone's favorites of the images included below:

Glad you like it! Nick and I discussed the possibility of doing a print of that one, but were unsure if it would have wide enough appeal to warrant a print release. I'm a big fan of that one too. :)
