Nick Baxter was born in 1981 in New Haven, Connecticut and remained in the New Haven area until 2008, when he relocated to Austin, Texas. Following a lifelong passion for creative self-expression, as a high school senior he was granted placement in the Visual Arts Department at the Educational Center for the Arts, a magnet school in New Haven CT. He then attended the Paier College of Art in Hamden CT (Dean’s List) where he learned the basics of sharp-focus still life painting in the classical “Trompe L'oeil” style. In 2000 Nick began a career in tattooing, while continuing to develop and pursue his interest in other fine art mediums such as painting, mixed media collage, and photography.

One of the more successful painting workshops that's ever been hosted at a tattoo convention was Shawn's original Ala Prima workshop, which was hosted at midnight at one of the Paradise Artist retreats. The virtual version is open to artists working in any medium including digital, although we strongly encourage artists to use Shawn's supply list and try the techniques that he'll be demonstrating that night.
