RAD

I'm Nic*Rad. I make art. You can see that over at my studio website

This here is a tumblr where we do it casually, emphatically, and just about all of the time.

I share quick updates pertaining to my work and my life, as well as inspiring things that others have made.

Here are some popular posts:

Things I've produced
Elements of influence
Sweet pictures of my goddamn face!

I've also been rumored to sometimes help organize the wonderful Arts Tech Meetup group in NYC. Stop by, won't you?

uhh-liz-uhhh-beth asked: hey i post some of my blown glass work and illustrations on my blog...mind checking em out and telling me what you think? :)

Hi! I like where your headed- and especially like the glass jaw you have there a few pages back. Something about that glass work and the skeleton is enticing. Keep going with that IMO.

Here’s a fella that you might like: Ernst Fuchs- especially his etchings. He has a fascination with structure and attenuation that you might dig. It’s hard to find good net images of his prints but they are real rewarding in person if you ever find yourself in Austria.

$Today is a pretty important day, internet wise. People are rallying to voice opposition to two nasty pieces of legislation that are aiming to break the internet in favor of “big content.” Since you are on the internet today you have encountered this conversation in a lot of forms. Here’s some of the latest on SOPA and PIPA. Here’s Clay Shirky making this ugliness clear and real. On January 1st of this year, my little tumblr gained its 30,000th follower. And like all minor internet abusers with modest numbers of people who sort of sometimes look at some of the things we proactively feed into the fractal of generative content- I’m wild with powerful delusions of grandeur. So rise up, tumblr minions; I realize that many of you are bots, and zombies, and I address this to you as well, my automated army- let today be the day you harass a congressmen and tell them what you think about giving powers of censorship discretion to some crusty hollywood capitalists who would rather you remained a zombie bot instead of having your own. Here’s how: http://americancensorship.org/$

oh how i love some tomaselli, I am having the same internal quivers like when I’m crying but with a sort of deadpan look of total boredom because no one is here to tell about these little pictures- oh i know I will post them up and see how many more notes they get. Also- believer mag is here on tumblr now. it’s like one of my slightly older sister’s cool friends moved into my building. I’m going to borrow eggs and sugar and stuff.

convoluted reblog metaphor. deal with it.

My spot paintings are more honest than your spot paintings.

i could see me living inside of this for a few weeks. would get wi-fi, etc. would play a lot of shoe-gaze, hang out, invite friends over for a game of scrabble, whatever.
