Nick Philip

Nick Philip (born in 1968 in London) is a graphic and multi-media artist and clothing designer operating out of the San Francisco, California.

As a teenager in London, Philip developed his skills as a cut-and-paste artist active in the city's freestyle bicycle/skateboard subculture. In 1988, after moving to the United States, he founded Anarchic Adjustment, a "streetware" clothing line geared to appeal to freestyle/skate, rave and techno consumers. Under the Anarchic label, Philip partnered with Alan Brown and Charles Uzzell Edwards. Philip created some of the earliest Bay Area rave fliers.

He became a founding contributor of Wired Magazine in 1993.

In the mid-1990s Philip worked on the film What Dreams May Come; in the movie's 1998 release, Philip is credited with "painted world visual effects: Lunarfish" (Lunarfish being a San-Francisco-based special-effects and CGI company). In 1997 Philip released the critically acclaimed Radical Beauty on Om Records, a combination of audio CD and computer CD-ROM that combines music, graphic art, computer animation, and an interactive digital mixing capacity. It won the Best Digital Contents Award at San Francisco Multimedia Summit. The music on the audio CD was provided by a range of techno, hip-hop, and ambient artists, including Mixmaster Morris, T-Power and Daniel Pemberton.

Philip created the first video for MTV's pioneering electronic music show Amp. He has performed live with ambient music artist Pete Lawrence, founder of the Big Chill Festival.

In 2006 Philip designed surrealistic-imaged T-shirts for The Imaginary Foundation. He has displayed his visual art at the San Francisco multi-media art gallery blasthaus, and he has worked as a videographer, in collaboration with audio artists Sun Electric ("Meccano"), Prana, and Journeyman.
