The artistic series that you will
find in this section are easily some of my most favorite pieces
that I have ever done. They represent a lot of work, both mentally
and physically. I have tried to pay very specific attention to even
the smallest of details to make really stellar pieces of art. They
do, for the most part at least, focus on me. The reason for this
is because the majority of these series pieces were created in a
time when I was trying to find myself and took deep, introspective
looks at my life and who I was on a daily basis. I used this artwork
to express the various aspects of what I was finding out about myself.
The person you know as Nick Steglich became who he is today because
of the thought that went into these series.
My Bonsai Life Series
Mmm... this will all make sense in a few minutes, but HOLY SHIT
do I want a martini right now.
Fuck
it... I went and made one! So if my grammar starts to slip towards
the end of this one, please let me know! So there I was, reeling
in the throes of my break-up with Chelsea, drinking a lot and wanting
desperately to understand myself better. I started dissecting who
I was, one chunk of Nick at a time. I figured that I would make
a Photoshopped series of these various aspects of my personality.
And I figured I would do this at a miniature level. In some ways,
these are my attempts at being humble and honest with myself. I
knew that there were aspects of myself which I had never truly shared
with anyone before, and I wanted for nothing more than for people
to know me as who I was and am today. The Bonsai Life series allowed
me to do that, and remians one of my most favorite, famous and provocative
series yet. My first one was so successful (and in fact, one of
the only girls who I met in Fitchburg who I thought was worth my
time - Aimee Stark - ended up copying this idea because she liked
it so much!) that it prompted severalo more. It is me. And I love
it for that and so many other reasons [again, see Pearl]. I hope
you enjoy them as well...

The Action Steglich Series
Stemming from the success of my Bonsai Life series, I started the
Action Steglich series... a series of Photoshopped images that further
explain who Nick Steglich is - only this time in a much more blunt
and sarcastic tone. It's me in an attempt at convoluting the humility
and humbleness of the Bonsai Life series and instead approaching
it from the Ego's point of view. I am idolizing myself and playing
off of the strongest aspects of my persona. I am the Nick Steglich
- Action Steglich Action Figure. I think that there are still more
to come for this series... The Action Steglich Dream Subaru absolutely
MUST happen at some point, as well as Perfect Pearl, Action Steglich's
bombshell babe.

The Inspiration Series
This is a series of drawings that I have done throughout the years.
These drawings are of people. They are THE people who have most
influenced my life. You will notice that there are a lot of girls
- and I think that that's because many more girls than guys have
influenced my life. I relate much better with girls, and I tend
to find that they are much more free-spirited and non-conformist
than guys are. I love that... And the guys that I have drawn are
those kind of guys... Not girly... just different from the rest.
Good Eggs. In all, I find that I draw only the people who really
move me. Cassie is a perfect example... I drew Cassie a lot... But
there have been precious few people who have been able to move me
to a different dimension the way her voice did. Nor have I been
able to find someone who has challenged my conscious being the way
that Matt Natti has. SO these are those people. The ones that have
made the difference or who have made me think differently. My tribute
to them...
