Nic died unexpectedly in his sleep, he was buried with his guitar hero guitar. That's just the kind of guy he was. I miss him every day, I miss him every hour.
Thursday when I'm on the plane to Baltimore to the tattoo show he usually organizes, I'm going to have to stop myself from texting him. I know it. It's habit.
So my point of writing this is that our mutual friend Aaron Is...has organized a benefit art show for Nic. It took me a week to figure out what I would paint. I knew the only requirement was to paint on a skateboard deck. So basically I just decided I would paint the deck FOR Nic exactly what I think he would have wanted. So I started with pink, because he was the only guy I know who can get away with wearing a pink collared shirt.
And the tattoos, because that was his life.
Finally the Jameson because as well as it being his choice booze it is also the first thing I remember us talking about. ha ha. (i don't like whiskey, but he convinced me to take a shot anyway...not like you have to really twist my arm).
So with Acrylics, Gold leaf, and some tears: I came up with my first painted skateboard! It is up for silent auction. (This means you can email me a bid.) Or you can show up at the Baltimore Tattoo show and place your bid by Saturday night January 24th. Bidding starts at $50.
I hope to see a lot of you there, to toast my friend Pretty! Nic.
If you can't make it, please in his honor tell your friends today how much you appreciate them. I did and it feels really good to know that he knew all the love I had for him.
To friends, tattoos, skateboards, and Pretty Nic Sloan
cheers!
xoxo
Megan
