Nick passed away on Monday, he will be greatly missed by many in the art world. Even if you don't recognize his name you've probably seen his work, his illustrations have been in several different prominent magazines and have graced many book covers. My favorites have always been his portraits of people and especially of dancing girls. He was so good at portraying emotions. I also posted about Nick way way back in 2006.

I own the Blood Micro Portfolio and it is awesome. The prints are small but still quite lovely and definitely worth framing. This set would be fantastic for a long hallway.

Super surreal photograph from Michelle Arcila. From 20×200, the prints are archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper with a luster finish.

This is the first photograph I've ever posted here. I have nothing against photography, but it does feel very intimate to me usually so I avoid using it on my walls unless it's my own. This photograph from Michelle is just abstract and interesting enough for me to want to hang it on my wall.
