No Simple Road

Young & Sick - Give It Away And Watch It Come Back


Listen Later

This week on No Simple Road we are so stoked to have Young & Sick (Nick van Hofwegen) as our guest on the show! Young & Sick is a New York and LA based musician and artist who's art has graced the covers of bands like Foster The People and artists like LP Giobbi. His unique visual style and prolific output are legendary. Nick is also a die hard Deadhead and we couldn't wait to dig into all of it with him!

We talk with Nick about:

  • His experience of finding the Grateful Dead community both overseas and here in the States.
  • His first memories of psychedelia and his lifelong attraction to the strange and oddball.
  • How he got his start in the art world by creating art for bands he loved and then giving it away to them for free.
  • Finding success along side Foster The People.
  • His unique path for creating and what his process looks like.
  • How he feels his style has evolved and how he looks back on the beginnings.
  • The ways in which the Grateful Dead community has shown him the reality of giving back 10 fold.
  • ... and much more!

    To check out his almost daily new art follow him on Instagram @youngandsick and head over to his website: www.youngandsick.com for his shop and fine art!
