Meet the talented Nick Chalmers....
By teaming intricate and detailed ink-work on wood along with loosely pained canvases and short films, Nicholas Chalmers presents quirky angles on his social views and situations. His humorous yet didactic artworks aim to engage, entertain and provoke viewers.
Nicholas completed a Diploma in Graphic Design, and since then he has been traveling around the globe featuring his art in several group shows.
It's the first time Angus Black has represented a surf label in store so in light of this we thought we'd ask Nick about a few of his firsts...
First crush... Either a lady that worked at the local swimming pool my parents would go to or my year 3 teachers daughter. She was pretty cute.
First album you flogged...Nirvana Unplugged. Got it from Cash Converters. Either that or my cassette of the Skyhooks.
First car..Used to borrow my mums Subaru Liberty wagon. Was great for going surfing on the weekend with my mates.
First hangover...16 years old in a small Samoan village after a night on Vodka Cruisers. Had no idea why I had a headache the next day.
First travel destination...U.S.A. I guess. I was quite young. Only thing I remember is going to Alcatraz prison and putting on the headphones to do the cassette tape tour guide and a pensioner must have been listening to it before me because it was cranked to full volume and when I hit play it scared the life out of me. I was already freaking that I was in a prison.
First tube.. Burleigh rock break. I saw my friends dad stick his arm in the wave and get a barrel so I did the same thing on my next wave and pulled it off. They put it on the local news in the surf report that night. I was so stoked.
