Nick Baxter www.nickbaxter.com Although still in his first decade in the tattoo profession, Nick Baxter already has long established himself as an artist worth watching, someone with a very personal artistic look executed with a level of technical excellence found in very few tattooists. Within his first year of working on skin, examples of Nick's work began appearing in magazines, catching the tattoo world by surprise, and he hasn't slowed down since. In addition to his mind-blowing tattoo work, Nick has also produced a significant body of painted works; his painting style incorporates classic old master's techniques but approaches them from another angle. He has produced a small booklet, The Fundamentals Of Realist Oil Painting, describing these techniques in detail. Since painting techniques have so many parallels with tattooing and exploration on canvas or board can be so helpful in developing better tattooing technique, Nick's book is a great place to start for any tattooist wanting to take a first look at painting techniques, as it offers college-level information in a short, concise format. 
By Nick Baxter Renowned tattoo artist and oil painter Nick Baxter has condensed over 10 years of artistic knowledge into one book. Both formally schooled in oil painting at the college level and self-taught through years of honing his style in the tattoo industry, Nick brings these two worlds together into a simple formula in his specialty: Sharp-focus realism. Aimed specifically at helping tattoo artists who are seeking to expand their artistic practice into a second medium, this book makes many helpful comparisons between the tattoo and painting mediums; at the same time, it encompasses enough information to be of immense value to all aspiring realist oil painters, from beginner to intermediate level. Nick discusses in-depth strategies for developing precise technical skills and a unique personal style, in the process revealing many of his own techniques and preferences including a groundbreaking section offering critical insight on the often-overlooked mental game of creating inspired works of art. Laced throughout with full-page color plates of a wide selection of Nick’s paintings throughout the years, this book will satisfy not only aspiring painters but also fans of Nick’s art, and of realism in general. Printed in North America on recycled paper, using eco-friendly inks.
