CREATIVE TEAM
The Illustrator
Regardless of genre, setting, or subject, Nick can bring your vision to life.
Born and raised in New Jersey, his parents’ first date was a drive-in movie in 1974. The movie… “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” The love for art was just in the genes. Drawing became a passion for Nick from the moment he could hold a crayon. From fantasy art, to caricatures, to comic books, the creativity of bringing visions to life has been a nonstop train in his life. That has also transitioned into the profession of tattoo art, for which he is licensed. He is also a member of SAG-AFTRA, and has appeared in TV and film since 2005. He currently resides in New York City, where he continues to work as a freelance designer/muralist, tattoo artist, and illustrator.
