Summer Vacation! Wowzers!
Whoa! As always the Summer days have passed by in Flash Boom KapOW Fashion…To those of you who have been checking in I apologize for the lack of updates. I’ve been caught in the whirlwind of 90+ degree days, late nights, and loooong weekends. Trips to Tennessee, NYC, Boston, Baltimore, a Skateboard Tour, and a…

Reggae & Afro Funk for Summer!
Recently I’ve been really excited about reggae from the late 60s & 70s. I’ve been searching for old low-fi reggae to fill my summer days and came across the Analog Africa myspace, which I believe is a German DJ, playing some amazing African music. Here is a track to enjoy! Le Super Borgou de Parakou…

A Shot in the Dark. Take one!
Once in a while it’s great fun to just buy an album without knowing anything or very little about the artist. I can remember being in Paris a couple years ago, walking into a record store, and purchasing two discs on a whim. I couldn’t read the track titles or understand the names of the…

Artist Survival Guide! You (may) NEED it!
The other day a friend sent me a .PDF of The Artist Survival Guide. He said something like, “check this out, you may need it.” It just so happens he had stopped by earlier that day, probably took note of my messy studio area & my off-the-wall mind, and thought…”Damn, Nick is a trainwreck! I…

Quote It! Mark Twain
I love quotes, therefor I’m going to start posting them whenever I stumble across one that I like. Lets start it off with a little Mark Twain. “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”…

HillmanCurtis Films & Milton Glaser
A few years ago I stumbled upon HillmanCurtis and their beautiful collection of films. I was particularly interested in their Artist Series films. The Artist Series features some of my favorite artists, such as Mark Romanek, Stefan Sagmeister, & Milton Glaser. I always go back to a couple of these films every few months or…

The project is a way of promoting and celebrating the launch of…

LIFE! Vending Machine
Another conceptual piece I’m working on for a big SOLO show in 2009! This is a vending machine, which you will be able to insert any random object, a thought scribbled on paper, or anything else that fits in the slot…Then you’ll get it back! Remember! You GET OUT OF LIFE, WHAT YOU PUT IN!…

Bicycles & Flickr Video
I am a complete dork. I LOVE Flickr and their photo service and now they have stepped it up by allowing videos to be added! They are trying something different, by limiting videos to 90 seconds and hoping people will upload things that are closer to video portraits, rather than your standard YouTube clips, rants,…
