Nic Sweet

Nic Sweet, an Alaskan artist living in the L.A. area, has been drawing and creating since he was four years old. His work spans from the political and satirical to the wide-reaching fantasies of the graphic worlds he creates. Dedicated to his drawing he often says the one other art form he would love to pursue would have to be Boxing.

Nic had this to say about the auction "I wasn't aware that militias were continuing to slave out people in the Congo to mine minerals until a few years ago. Honestly I was furious, but the only thing I felt I could do was repost the articles I was reading. I felt helpless. So when I heard about the show, I jumped at the opportunity to contribute with these amazing artists." - Nic Sweet.

B.B. Nielsen

BB's Urban work can be found in the streets of London, Paris, Los Angeles, Seville and Sao Paulo. An early love for sci-fi created all sorts of mischievous Barbarellas out and about town. All kinds of alien girls are first seen pasted in walls here and there before they are mutated to be part of a world of Finer Arts.

As a synesthete, BB can portray a personal take on sounds and in 2009, Bon moved slightly off centre from the Urban (Pop) tag keeping the basics and techniques learned there; The recycling of materials to make the piece out of anything that allows, the use of wheatpaste & paper, and spray cans teamed with acrylics, all to give a different approach to a more abstract work, still keeping the sci-fi feeling.

Philip Vose

Philip Andrew Vose, known amongst his friends as "pvose" is a younger gent with an old soul and bearded face. This isn't to say he is wise because he isn't by any means. Rather, he is curious about the art world and is continuing to teach himself through trial and error and the help of old masters what it means to be an artist, which he is also not by any means. pvose has high hopes and a strong faith in the idea that his efforts will pay off in the end...God willing! Check out Phil's work here. (These works will be auctioned.)

Nate Fish

Nate Fish is originally from Cleveland, Ohio. He is a trained writer, a self-taught artist and disc jockey, and the greatest baseball coach on planet Earth. Fish has written many unpublished stories, essays, poems, and even entire unpublished books. Fish started making visual art five years ago at the age of 25. An unlikely candidate for artist after spending his entire life to that point playing baseball, Fish began slowly, like a cave-man, painting words and stick figures on small canvas board. In 2006, Fish took his work to the streets, creating the art brand, The Brick of Gold, while his work on canvas and paper continued to expand to include what you see here. Fish only eats spaghetti and eggs high in the fake mineral photonamite making his blood hard like car paint and preventing hangovers. Fish Currently lives in Brooklyn and manages the Yorkville Baseball Academy in Harlem, NY. You can see his work here. (The art below is not what will be shown at the auction.)
