I've followed Nick Butcher's work for a few years now and loved nearly all of it. It's great to see that he's met soul-mates and collaborators of like but distinct talent with whom to grow (old or otherwise). Aside from being a terrific graphic artist, gifted machine tinkerer, sound experiment honcho, and independent small business owner, Nick is truly a warmhearted and unpretentious soul -- although after this article that might all change. Oh, if you only knew Nick before this article came out . . . Lovely work. I’ve followed Nick Butcher’s work for a few years now and loved nearly all of it.

Have had the pleasure of knowing and also collaborating with Mr. Butcher over the past few years, and he's been a real inspiration in terms of, as Nakanishi puts it, "...establish(ing) an independent way of living, of making a livelihood outside the corporate world and therefore setting up our own rules and limitations." What's underplayed here is Nick's music -- all battered cassette recorders and damaged Casios -- which are the audio personification of his fragmented-yet-evocative visual work. Definitely check out the Hometapes link embedded in the article for more. A great piece about two well-deserving artists.
