Mr Nicolini: May 2013

This wonderfully bright contribution comes from Ochre7. I love the line work and playful use of colour in this illustration. Do take a look at his website and Flickr for an incredibly diverse and exciting range of work!

What is Mr Nicolini?

Mr Nicolini is a contribution blog that not only celebrates the wonderful character of an elderly Yorkshireman, but also brings together creatives from all backgrounds and of all abilities. It was started by portrait illustrator, Abby Wright, to encourage creatives to come forward and contribute beautiful pieces of work that they could be proud to show.

Mr Nicolini is an elderly gentleman, who after living with the family for 30 years, became an adopted Grandfather to Abby and her siblings. He is a generous and kindhearted man who love reading, animals, Westerns, boxing, dogs, cats, crosswords, silly jokes, history, wildlife books. I hope you will enjoy this blog as we have enjoyed setting it up.

"I believe Mr Nicolini could be a fun way of getting lots of creatives together, both new and more established, in the same place. I love seeing participation blogs and this was a fantastic opportunity to start one myself. I think it is a great way to not only honour his sweet nature, but to make sure he is always remembered and never forgotten. Who knows, maybe we can make him a little bit famous!"
