A Canadian illustrator and 3D animator, Nick’s dive into VR began with the Oculus DK1. Inspired by VR artists like Goro Fujita, he started painting and animating with Quill and AnimVR in 2017. These pieces were painted in Quill and inspired by Nick’s interest in feathered dinosaurs, which he feels allows for much more creativity than the traditional scaly grey monsters often depicted in the movies.

He hopes that viewing these pieces in VR will inform a sense of scale and majesty. With his work, Nick tells small, concise stories bottled into their own little worlds.
