Nick, whose artist name is Snooze One, began experimenting with graffiti and lettering art at the age of thirteen and has always been fascinated by the creative combination of the two worlds. Back in school, he would print T-shirts with his own word designs, sell them, and share his creations on Instagram. Over time, he increasingly focused on calligraphy and developed his aesthetic towards brush lettering. Nick combines calligraphy, lettering, and graffiti in all his work while continually experimenting with different styles and tools.
He also combines his passion for photography with his graffiti work and tracks his artistic process via his successful Instagram profile. His lettering work appears on items for brands like UNATICS, Combo Breaker, and Bad Apple Skateboards. His influences include the calligraffiti artist Shoe, Dutch artist Nick van Steen (@radical_only), as well as Tyrsa, Felipe Pantone, and It's a Living.

It hasn't been bad, but Snooze, who is a good graffiti artist, doesn't convey passion for what he does when he explains. Even so, I have been encouraged to do some work copying his technique.
