In 1991 Griffin and Sabine became a worldwide phenomenon,
and I was catapulted (kicking and screaming) into the limelight.
However, for the twenty odd years that lead up to that rollercoaster
ride, I’d been a full-time artist. So, in a sense, creating books was a
sidetrack from my primary means of self-expression. Hence, in 2007 I
decided to return to my painting roots. I opened my studio-gallery 'The Forgetting
Room' here on Saltspring Island BC and set aside the pen. During this passed Autumn and Winter I’ve been working on much larger paintings, partly because I now have the space and partly because it just feels good to open my wings. Some of these pieces have been under commission, others are simply for hanging in the gallery. In late 2008 I took on one other major art commitment—Penguin Books asked me if I would create a set of drawings for their new translation of Canterbury Tales. It was an offer no self-respecting lover of magnificent bawdy humour could refuse! NB NEW: Nick Bantock limited edition prints as gifts for VALENTINES or for personal collecting. Whether you are interested in purchasing my works or wish to enquire about a professional/commercial commission please CONTACT US. PROFILE: A starting point.... WORKSHOPS: The new Saltspring workshop dates for 2009 have now been posted.
