The good folks at RAW Natural Born Artists have invited me to showcase my artwork at their next show, Sensory. The event takes place at The MET in the Valley, Brisbane, on Thursday 28th May, and will feature a couple dozen other local creatives from fields as wide-ranging as fashion, photography and performing art.
If you’re interested, click on the link below to purchase tickets, and be sure to select Nick Smith as the artist you are there to see. I can’t wait to see your smiling faces!
I’ll be at Brisbane Supanova this weekend in Artist’s Alley table 87 ( HILT – Nick Smith) on the final leg of the Hilt 2024 tour. Come by and grab a copy, or a print, including these new Kung Fu Panda images. Hope to see you there!
I recently had the opportunity to create the cover artwork for Ashcan, issue #9. Ashcan is a collaborative project designed to bring together comic artists and writers, giving them the opportunity to have their work published for free in a print medium. You can pick up a copy from the Ashcan table (#13) at this weekend’s Zine and Indie Comic Symposium (ZICS) at The Edge, part of the State Library of Queensland, South Bank, Brisbane. I will be sharing the table and pimping out my comic Hilt once more, so if you’re in the area, come and say hello, and check out all the other great artists and writers that Brisbane has to offer.
Good news, everyone! I’m pleased to announce that the Art Nuggets Store is now online. You can now purchase my comic Hilt, as well as my art book, Art Nuggets – Year One. Powered through Big Cartel, purchases can be shipped to anywhere in the world.
I plan to have t-shirts available eventually, as well as prints. Indeed, if there are any images that you would like to see as prints, please drop me a line at nick@artnuggets.net
Happy shopping!
This week I’m taking a break from my day job at Defiant Development to blitz my comic in an effort to get ahead on it. It’s been a productive few days and is going to be capped by my attendance at ZICS (Zines & Indie Comic Symposium) this weekend. I’ll have a table there selling my wares, and will be doing a talk about my motivation and process I use in my Hilt at 2pm on Sunday as part of the Skillz 2 Pay the Billz workshop. If you’re in the Brisbane area come check it out.
In the meantime over at the HILT blog I’ve posted a style test I did a while back, an example of which is at the top. Click on the link or the image to head on over and check it out.
While work continues on my comic HILT I thought I’d post a sample page of completed artwork. Click on the image to head on through to the HILT blog and read all about it.
