Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Nick draws upon 20 years of experience in advertising, art and design to tell subversive stories and agitate with iconic imagery. Whether as the author and illustrator behind Spinfluence: The Hardcore Propaganda Manual for Controlling the Masses or producing the cover art for The Prodigy's most recent chart-topping album, The Day is My Enemy. Nick thrives at the collision point of pop-culture and social-insanity, creating work which is both abrasive and insightful.
