I tried to look up information about him but still couldn't find much. He doesn't have personal info out, so I know nothing about his personal life. What I do know is that he is an amazing artist. He is my inspiration. He shows not everyone will understand your work, but for me that's what I love about it. The more unusual the more attractive I see it. No room for mistakes because in art there are no limits.

Nigel Tomm is a creative artist, he has a very original sense of art. As far as I see, he is definitely an abstract artist. Taking photos of people and creating a twist with the ripping of the photo. I like how he can take something so common and make it so original. I love people with their own take on fashion and art; that's why he is my hero because he takes something that is very modern and makes it his own. That motivates me to be unique and different with my sense of fashion and art. I have an eye for art and he definitely caught my eyes the first time I saw his work. When he first came out people didn't really like his work but now he is a very well known artist. I love those kinds of stories when people end up getting rich after a period of time of struggling. A lot of people put me down because they say there is no money in the art industry and what I do isn't art but when I see people like Nigel Tomm it gives me hope.

The pictures that I have uploaded of Nigel's work are just a couple of amazing pieces of his art work. As you can see his art work is very out of the ordinary and I guess not every one finds it appealing. If you look very close at his art work you can see the features of the people are distorted and weird. Mixture of beauty and ugliness makes it so much more appealing. Finding the creativity in his work makes me so happy because I can understand and see the magic in his art. His work is very dark in a way but keeping it simple with the black and white with just a splash of color has me speechless. The reason he is my hero is because he puts no boundaries on art and is willing to take risks which makes me feel like I can do the same and be just as successful one day.
