Graphics to Create Artwork
Nick ingeniously builds each piece of art around a specific graphic (as shown). It represents an inventive riff on your holiday photos, pet’s personality, or perhaps even your family. The scope is endless!
Please note: Nick can choose the icon to create his signature pixelation. But, he welcomes requests for the icon that will best express your chosen photo.
NICK HOLDSWORTH PROCESS
Nick’s artistic process is a captivating blend of modern techniques and nostalgic inspiration. He combines digital manipulation, creative graphics, and hand-painting to craft powerful images.
Depth, Wit & Timelessness
Each piece centres around a specific graphic, often a famous brand logo with an association with the subject. Resulting in a unique fusion of past and future influences. This blend adds depth, wit, and a timeless quality to his contemporary pieces. Reflecting Nick’s journey through iconic experiences and creative innovation.
Image Selection
Nick begins by selecting online images to retouch, enhancing them by removing imperfections. Then adjusting details through Photoshop’s layered approach. He isolates various elements into separate layers, allowing focused refinement.
Adding Details
Nick sometimes incorporates additional details from other images, integrating them seamlessly through masking. Subsequently, he pixelates the image and overlays it with his chosen repeated icon. Often a recognisable brand logo associated with the subject.
Refining Layers
He carefully refines each layer, ensuring the graphics remain visible and harmonious. Nick then adds colour to each layer. Meticulously hand-painting with a tablet, matching the colours he’ll use for the final airbrushed painting.
Creating a Mosaic
Then printing the coloured piece in mosaic form and further perfected by many hours of hand painting. Utilising airbrushing, inks, stencils, pens, and brushes to achieve the desired tone and detail.
