Nick Philip
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nick Philip (b. 1968, London) is a graphic and multi-media artist and clothing designer operating out of the San Francisco Bay area.
As a teenager in London, Philip first developed his skills as a cut-and-paste artist active in the city's freestyle bicycle/skateboard subculture. In 1988, not long after moving across the Atlantic, he jointly founded Anarchic Adjustment, a "streetware" clothing line geared to appeal to freestyle/skate, rave and techno consumers. Nick's success with Anarchic was largely due to his ability to partner with the combined talents of Alan Brown and Charles Uzzell Edwards who were considered to be his brilliant co-conspirators at Anarchic. He became a founding contributor of Wired Magazine in 1993.
In the mid-1990s Philip worked on the film What Dreams May Come; in the movie's 1998 release, Philip is credited with "painted world visual effects: Lunarfish" (Lunarfish being a San-Francisco-based special-effects and CGI company). In 1997 Philip released the critically-acclaimed Radical Beauty, a combination of audio CD and computer CD-ROM, a project that combines music, graphic art, computer animation, and an interactive digital mixing capacity. The music on the audio CD was provided by a range of techno, hip-hop, and ambient artists, including Mix Master Morris and Daniel Pemberton.
He has performed live with ambient music artist Pete Lawrence.
In 2006 Philip designed surrealistic-imaged T-shirts for The Imaginary Foundation. He has displayed his visual art at the San Francisco multi-media art gallery blasthaus, and he has worked as a videographer, in collaboration with audio artists Sun Electric, Prana, and Journeyman.
