NIK DUDUKOVIC

"Exploring a fictional history through fabricated documentation, the work of Nik Dudukovic merges the nostalgia of turn-of-the-century cartoons and illustrations with the familiarity of blemish-free draftsmanship. His characters are compositionally graphic from ten feet away and meticulously detailed from ten inches away, while his design and cohesive technique allow for a fluid --- yet selective --- narrative to emerge."

Nik Dudukovic is a recent graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, with a BFA in printmaking. He is a freelance illustrator and designer, as well as co-owner of CoolerThanYou.ca Illustration Agency in Toronto, Canada. His work has been published and exhibited internationally and is in private and public collections worldwide.
