Neneki “Nick” McGee is a self taught artist from Los Angeles who began to love art at a very young age. He sold his first drawings in Elementary school. It was an original drawing of Michael Jackson and several prints that he got his teacher to photocopy. Then in Junior High School he fell in love with airbrushing because of the vibrant colors. He soon begged his mother to buy him an airbrush gun and compressor. He taught himself how to airbrush by reading books and lots of practice. He has spent most of his life bettering his craft, not knowing the wonderful journey his art would take him. He has won several awards with his paintings & his art has been in demand around the world. He has been a trendsetter in fashion with his airbrushed portraits on t-shirts. His work has been featured in Hip Hop music videos & photo shoots. He started www.Artistic-Graphics.com which keeps him connected with clients from the West to the East Coast of the United States, to Canada, Germany, The United Kingdom, & Asia.
