"After years spent travelling the world and working with moderately-successful college rock bands, the laidback Californian art graduate Brad Nack painted his first reindeer in 1993. Little did he know that 16 years later, the subject would have taken over his life. The annual Brad Nack 100% Reindeer Art Show has become a festive favourite in the US and this year he accepted the challenge to produce 2009 of his small, colourful portraits. This month, Nack’s reindeers will be pulling up their proverbial sleigh the UK for the first time, with a display at London's Old Truman Brewery from 26-29 November. ."

"I like Brad Nack's paintings because they're technically great, they vibrate with life and humor (thank CHRIST) and because they remind me of a crazy cross between Paul Klee and a particular style of mid-century illustration I always dug." [more] - Colleen Wainwright/Communicatrix

"Andy Warhol once famously said that everyone in the future would be famous for 15 minutes. Its hard to tell if Santa Barbara artist Brad Nack’s moment will last longer, or whether he’s even arrived at all much beyond our fair city, but the time span of a quarter-hour certainly has meaning for him: that exactly how long it took got every single painting in his annual “100 Percent Reindeer Art” show to sell out last year."

"Santa Barbara artist Brad Nack paints reindeer. Not your average reindeer either and in his one day exhibition Brad Nack: 100% reindeer art tour, the man who discovered the band Toad the Wet Sprocket (that’s right, discovered, produced, and managed them) will show off his highly successful paintings of all sorts of reindeer..If you can’t make this one, his work will also be featured at the kevchino.com show on Saturday."
