Hey Folks,

It’s officially LIVE! My new artbook project “Realism: The Art of Kevin Nichols” is now live on Kickstarter — and I couldn’t be more excited (or nervous 😅).

If you’ve been following along, now is the time to officially back the project and claim your signed, limited edition artbook or one of the other exclusive rewards before they’re gone!

🔥 Both the softcover and hardcover books are limited to just 100 copies each — signed and numbered in the order backed. First come, first numbered — and collectors know those early numbers are gold.
