[edit] Biography

His first published work was in the monthly British comic Judge Dredd Megazine with a horror ‘strange cases’ tale written by Dave Stone. After several similar stories in the Megazine, he then went on to paint a nine part story set in Judge Dredd’s world in the Cursed Earth, with the series, "Sleeze’n’Ryder" where Nick worked with acclaimed writer Garth Ennis.

The pair would later work together again for the British weekly comic 2000AD on the Judge Dredd epic, "Goodnight Kiss" — another tale set in the radioactive wasteland of the Cursed Earth, where Judge Dredd is hunted by the assassin, Jonni Kiss and the mutant Brotherhood of Marshalls.

Nick also painted the Sláine series, King of Hearts for 2000AD where he worked with the co-creator of 2000AD, Pat Mills.

Aside from his 2000AD, work on various stories and painted covers, including a Dredd one-off story "Crime Prevention" with acclaimed comic book author, Mark Millar, Nick also produced work for Marvel Comics, MTV, Wizards of the Coast, Upper Deck Entertainment, Boom! Studios, Electronic Arts, Sony, Activision, Atari, Sci-Fi Channel, History Channel, Microsoft and Fantasy Flight Games.

He also became prolific in the video game and animation industries where he ran an animation studio in the UK. He directed computer generated cut-scenes for video game such as Alien Escape, Z: Steel Soldiers, Carmageddon TDR 2000 and the Games Workshop licensed video game of Gorkamorka. His company also developed their own computer generated short films and Nick presented one of these successfully at the Cartoon Movie Festival 2002 in Berlin.

Nick is the author and illustrator of Legends — an in development graphic novel, to be adapted into a $35m movie by acclaimed production and creature designer, Patrick Tatopoulos.[1]

Nick is currently writing and providing concept artwork for films, TV and video games.
