Nigel Sade: The Pirate
Nigel is another one of those Comic Con mainstays for me. I see him at every year at the two Cons I visit annually, but I’ve never really talked to him. Truth is the first time I saw him was, I think, Wizard World 1999 and they (Nigel and his pirate cohort) were giving me the hard sell. After that, I just kinda kept on walking every time I saw their table because I hate the hard sell. Nigel, if you are reading this, sorry man. This time I stopped at his table and I was blown away by his art. Just looking at his prints of logos from DC heroes makes me want to see the re-birth of the Elseworld titles and get a pirate JLA adventure. It also struck me as some great tattoo ideas! Nigel Sade has a unique style that I have never seen duplicated and would love to see his art hanging in studio somewhere. If I ever with the lottery and can afford to hire an artist to make huge mantelpieces for my Wayne Manor sized fireplace, I’m giving Nigel a call. However, since I’m the kinda guy who doesn’t with the lottery (the universe doesn’t let people who actually need the money win the lottery) I’ll settle for saving up to get a nice print and may-be a tattoo design.
Dear Readers, please take a look at Nigel Sade’s website because not only is it great art, but they guy is pretty damn funny too.
Nigel the Pirate is cool, and I was a schmuck. There, I said it.
