Nick Dragun Fine Art

My main interest lies in drawing you.  With a drawing you are recreated through the artist's ability to perceive your form and process it not through a secondary medium but through the artist's eye directly to his hands.  The beauty of a drawing lies in its essential ingredients; humanity, perception, and the most basic elements of charred vine and compressed wood fibers.

I am a fine art figurative artist, in grad school earning my MFA.  I focus on the nude human form, portraying a sense of psychological turmoil and the beauty of the human body.  Looking for female and male models.  Especially looking for models that may want to consistently appear in my drawings to give them a more cohesive, structured appearance.  I am particularly open to collaborating with you to create unique drawings.  We can work out any ideas you may have about portraying your self-image. 

My Grand Rapids studio is near downtown, very close to an expressway exit.  I work here weekdays during the school year.  My Ann Arbor studio is behind my home, 15 miles south of town; this is where I work on the weekends and throughout the summer. 

I am also an experienced and well-equipped photographer and photoshop wizard.  I am willing to trade your time for modeling for me for a photo shoot for your self-promotion.  My downtown Grand Rapids studio is in a great urban setting and my home studio is located on wooded property.  These are beautiful places to do some shoots to elevate your portfolio.  I would also trade your modeling time for drawings you may keep.

Also, know that I am a family man, with a great wife and two beautiful children.  I will always treat you with the highest respect and value your participation in the making of good art.
