Debbie talks to artist Tucker Nichols about his art, and the quality of the art he loves.
Is it possible to successfully integrate art and commerce without loosing your soul? In this episode of Converge, Dane Sanders talks with Tucker Nichols about how he went from studying the history of Chinese painting to becoming an artist himself. Not satisfied with a single medium, Tucker explored everything from drawing and painting to large and small installations to video, fine art and illustration. Even more interesting for our business of creativity community though is how Tucker figured out how to significantly monetize his art, all while keeping his soul fully in tact. You definitely don’t want to miss this episode. Thanks too for sharing with a friend who you think would benefit.

In March 2009, Gallery Crawl interviewed Brion Nuda Rosch about the third installment of his Paper! Awesome! exhibition. In the latest incarnation of this ongoing curatorial project, Rosch invited over one hundred artists to create new works on 8.5" x 11" sheets of paper, including over three hundred works on paper at Baer Ridgway's South of Market gallery. Rosch invited established Bay Area artists such as Barry McGee and Tucker Nichols, as well as younger emerging artists like Alexis Mackenzie and Mads Lynnerup to contribute to the show. Artists Chris Duncan and Jason Jaegel were invited to create larger works, rounding out a rich collection of samplings from the local art scene.
