Professional info

 

 My name is Nicholas. Artist & Designer. I pull most of my ideas from the outer reaches of the universe. I am a vivid conceptualizer with strong articulation skills. I live for the aesthetics of Life. I am fascinated by people, places, social interactions and experiences. My goal is to experience as much as I can in this body and share my gift with the world. This is my work and I only intend to get better.

 

Enjoy.
