About Me

Well I'm a Photographer in the (Hip Hop) Music Industry. And that's where I like to be, as apposed to being a paparazzi, witch to me has nothing to do with photojournalism. I'm about respect that's it. I like my end of photography it's a great job. I get to meet a lot of really cool people and a lot of high profile people at that. I'm also an Aerosol Artist to the fifth power and I'm always trying to push my artwork. Both elements I have been involved with for a very long time now and I've manage to make a name for myself so to speak. I've had my photo work published in VIBE, The SOURCE, BLAZE, and HIP HOP magazine in the UK. My Aerosol Art Work can be seen in Seven Graffiti Related books, TAKING THE TRAIN, AEROSOL KINGDOM, BROKEN WINDOWS, BURNING NEW YORK, TATOOED WALLS, GRAFFITI NYC (THE NEXT STAGE.), BURNING NEW YORK. As well as The New York Times. AND GLAMOR MAGAZINE 2006. I've had my artwork used for a Calvin Klein add and I did some artwork for the movie BOMB THE SYSTEM 2005. I was also honored for Graffiti on VH1's Hip Hop Honers in 2004 and my artwork can be seen in the new MARC ECHO Game "GETTING UP". I'm the Co/Producer of Video Graf Productions -graffitivideos.com I'm also the photographer for the Jam Master Jay Foundation wich is run by jam Master Jays Mother (Conie Thomas) and Jays brother Marvin Thomas.I always like to say It's ok if you've never heard of me, you soon will. I'm very out going and I like to have fun. I'm down to earth about life and always up to a challenge. I really don't do the online thing. I just thought "Hey what the hell" Will I get into trouble here? hummm, stay tooned! Peace,,,, Nasty Nic One Aerosol Kings 2006ix..

My Interests

I'm into a lot of things from Video Games to hangout from club to club (And that's just work) I like to spend time with people that are real about them selves and like to have fun. I love walking around the city with my camera and just photographing things and people. I paint some of the most colorfullest walls and I'm doing the art gallery thing here and there trying to take my work over sea's. I love music since that is the conection to my soul. Music really fuels my artistic internal beast. I like a great freestyle sessions and have always been a true B-Boy head since back in da days. I'm always down for what ever, so I tend to get caught up in the crazyest of places. It's al good because it's always a new adventure for me.
