About Me

With a penchant for drawing various skulls, tough dudes and big haired ladies with even bigger chests, her work is a reflection of the rockabilly and kustom kulture lifestyle. It should be noted that while her typical subject matter may be unconventional, she successfully combines technical skill with calculated exaggeration to create her own unique brand of illustration.Nik’s illustrations have appeared on the walls of galleries, various publications, and on band merchandise. Her abilities include a wide variety of applications such as commercial illustration, apparel graphics, album artwork and poster design. The list of clients includes: Rockabilly Magazine, Old Skool Rods, Nekromantix, Reverend Horton Heat, Heavy Rebel Weekender, The Philly Roller Girls, Weird NJ and Asbury Lanes.
