I found it sad to realize that Nick was only 37. An extremely talented young man with a fine career ahead of him. I read is obituary and didn’t know he was living in Newport Beach – you’d think I would have crossed paths with him since I lived in the OC for 15 years…the art community is not that big a place. Again, very sad. My condolences to his family. Below are some samples of his work, and more HERE.

January 29th, 2010I recently visited fellow Angelino artist Lisa Solberg in her downtown studio for a piece I’m writing in the upcoming issue of Monster Children Magazine. Here is one of her new pieces which is just amazing. We got talking about Cy Twombly which made me want to post this below. It’s just awesome. I’ll post the interview once the new issue reaches the newsstands.
