Nathaniel-curtis.com is part of the creative media company 1200Ten Ltd.
Under this umbrella I offer original art and commissioned pieces, for private and commercial ventures, and freelance interior design. My art is inspired by my love for the underground… the music, the clubs, the people, the streets. My design draws on my 25 years in the commercial interior design sector. 1200Ten Ltd fuses my passions… I hope you like what you see.
This is a collection of diamonds in the dirt. Illustration art of women, men and people with presence. Inspired by the cities, the streets, the nightlife. The people in their scene, the scenes you’ve all seen. The places I’ve passed through. The creatures that pull you in. The alluring ones, the dangerous ones. The beats, the bass, the life.
There’s illustrations of people with edge, with flaws, born of living The Life. Those characters that stand out from the crowd, catch your eye, the ones that make you question.
Illustrations of faces, strong lookers that hold your gaze and inprint themselves on your conscious; I spot these characters hiding in plain sight, at night when people reveal their true nature.
There’s illustrations of women, the strong and striking ones, with presence that command respect, beautiful, dangerous, moody, looking like Chola graffiti!
There’s illustrations of men, invariably up to no good. Lone wolves on a mission, or hanging around in groups, men with that Pitt Bull calm before the storm. Men with strength of purpose, the fallen angels with the looks, the menace and magnetism to pull you in
Illustrations of youth, capturing their fierce spirit, their arrogance and energy, their numbers and hunger, unique to the young, sought by the old, qualities that dilute with time.
