Phil Toledano: Kim Jong Phil
Phil Toledano: Kim Jong Phil It’s Nice That If his latest project is to be believed, the artist/photographer Phil Toledano rescues children from burning houses, speaks compellingly to adoring admirers, and is perhaps intent on world global domination. Intrigued, and a little scared, we spoke to Phil about the comparatively delusional thoughts and processes of artists...

Nathalie Miebach
Nathalie Miebach It’s Nice That Wicker has not traditionally been the tool of choice for data visualisation. Nathalie Miebach’s work makes me think perhaps it should be. Shown here is a piece from a series in which Miebach translated weather data into musical scores, which were in turn translated into sculpture. For me her work is the visual equivalent of the Large...

Eric Yahnker: Cracks of Dawn
Eric Yahnker: Cracks of Dawn It’s Nice That Eric Yahnker’s work is social commentary hidden carefully beneath very immediate humour – the sort that provokes surprisingly real laughter – and, like most contemporary art, is consequently an exercise in revealing layers. On hearing about his new show at L.A.‘s Ambach & Rice, we caught up with Eric to chat 14-foot...

Rapper Gucci Mane has been released from a mental hospital, where he’s been resting ever since declaring himself mentally incompetent following his arrest for driving on the wrong side of the road and then punching a guy right in front of the cops. And to celebrate his newfound sanity, he got a tattoo of a triple-decker ice cream cone with lightning bolts shooting out of it right on his face....

Letman
Letman It’s Nice That Job Wouters is more commonly known as Letman – and with this moniker he creates beautiful letterforms, crammed with personality and narrative. Gijs Frieling has described him as a man who “writes letters, words and sentences with pencils, markers and brushes on paper and walls,” which goes a long way to telling you what he does, but read through...

Rob Nicol
Rob Nicol It’s Nice That Wonder filled and strange vignette paintings by Rob Nicol. Perspex and acrylic is used to great effect and is at a happy contradiction with the archaic subject matter. Other things at odd in Nicol’s portfolio include the frequent sightings of dismemberment and other violent ends depicted in such nice and dreamy colours. Seriously good stuff....

Fire extinguisher writing
Fire extinguisher writing It’s Nice That I am very interested in new writing-methods and their aesthetics. Using a fire-extinguisher to put up a tag has been a bit of a craze in the graffiti-world over the last few years. I don’t think Katsu invented this, but i found his video a good demonstration of the phenomenon. Plus it shows very accurate were graffiti-bombing is...
