Acknowledgements

Thanks to all who have supported my Work

Nick’s main forms of expression are engineering drawings, 3D digital renderings, writing, music, fractal generations, photography, and sculpture.  I work at my process considerably, knowing I have not reached my plateau yet – nor will I in any foreseeable future.
