My final semester is winding down so I only have an assignment or 2 left! I had to do a drawing for the New Scientist article/book review "Life with your avatar" for the book Infinite Reality. I've stuck it into the page layout below for your viewing pleasure!

Big Day! man o man! wooooooooo

So many surprises today! First off, my first real piece came out (the one above). It's for Plan Adviser's section Hot Off the Presses and was AD'd by SooJin Buzelli. SooJin hires a TON of really really really good illustration so I definitely was happy to do this one!

ALSO, I got 5 (FIVE YEAH WOAH) pieces into American Illustration 30! suuuuuupppperrrrr stoked for real. O man, I'm so amp'd it's hard to type.

on the other side of the spectrum, SKOOL IS ENDING FOREVER. everything is coming down reaaaaal hard like. too many papers/finals/commencement shows to worry about for it to be anywhere near okay.

What does the future hold? Come June, I'm moving back up to NJ for a few months while I look for apartments in NY. Also, I need to rent out studio space. SO if you're in the city, and need a roommate or studiomate, hit me up! preferably in BRKLYN. holla atcha boi.

Julianna, Abby, and I will be running around the city on May 6th for SI Student opening. Pizza party all around.

AND, Chip Shot comes out soon! look at JJ's adorbz face!

con amor,
Nicolas

Ambiguous Book Jacket Project

Another one for my Fantasy Art class. John Hendrix and Jaime Zollars created an assignment which had us make book covers for fake books with vague/mysterious titles. Mine was Citizen Of Gravity. I decided the book would probably be a series of light-hearted vignettes on "letting go". The mock-up image was totally stolen from the internet somewhere. yay google images.

The rainbow dog machine drawing from the last post is available for purchase through the Gallery Nucleus! it's only $50 and a portion goes towards a good cause (world wildlife fund)!

Nuclear Meltup

a few quick things! both are for shows at Gallery Nucleus in LA! w00000t. ok the first one is a 7"x5" drawing for their Power In Numbers show. I decided to draw a rainbow dog machine!

and the second one is for their upcoming Harry Potter show! cool idea? i think so. My take on it was obviously a quidditch match.

also, my bestie Mitchell and I have started creating/printing zines under the moniker GET LOST PRESS as I think I've previously stated. The first editions of our first 2 zines are basically done and the third one is on it's way. If you have a tumblr go follow us!

mural+MoCCA

ha! cam and I designed a mural a while back and they decided it was a good idea to use a photo of it for this issue of MICA's Juxtapositions Magazine. The photo credit inside was given to GAIA lol. also that's laura on the right. she deserves a shout out too.

hey duderz! if any of you happen to be going to MoCCA you should stop by and say hi! I don't remember what table we're at but it's somewhere near the middle.

too many things happening at this exact second to write more. xoxopanda

I promise I'm doing things

I've been hacking away at this book (glorified zine?) but I haven't really been posting much of it. AND I won't yet! but I will post some of these funny logos that'll be part of it :D If I can get my act together It'll be done by the time MoCCA hits.


It'll be release by Mitchell and I's new zine press: GET LOST PRESS

We have 2 books so far! The first is Mitch's Art History thesis put into a half-letter format plus a fold-out poster. The second is my latest installment of my Knee Deep & Losing Sleep series. It's also a half-letter and includes some cool new drawings! check out that tumblr link above for way more images!

xoxo, niq

ps: look at that adorable photo of me at the top left portion of this page! It was taken by the amazingly talented and generally awesome Elle Perez. She is a champion of justice.

Another one for Jaime's fantasy art class about filtering out bad advice!

Also, I received The Weinstein Foundation scholarship from SI student for $2000! winwinwin! Will I be seeing any of you for the opening on May 6th?

Also, it's Spring Break! partyparty

everything is wrong

I've been pretty awful about sketchbooking this year. So here are some drawings of heads.



Here's a drawing that Julianna and I did instead of paying attention during seminar:

GAHHHHHHH

Senior year freak out! Julianna and I have been trying to de-stress and have fun. Top chef, video games, and fun times. stay posi! collaborative sketchbook doodle by us:

I feel like people are going to think I just do soccer drawings after this semester is over. Anyways, here's a drawing of Bafé Gomis from Lyon.

bayern beatdown

even though shinji kagawa is totally out for the rest of the season, dortmund are still kicking tail and taking names. that 3-1 over bayern munich was beautiful.
