Yeah, Nick is a good dude. He actually went to school somewhere in Toronto, I forget the name of the school. I saw his work awhile back at a gallery openning, emailed hime, and we’ve been friends since. Finally ponied up the doe for one of his paintings this month!
He I think represents a new bread of artists that are taking ‘lowbrow’ art, art people actually find interesting, and bringing it into the highbrow galleries.
