Nick Potter (born 8 January 1947; Kent, UK) Born in Kent, swiftly transported to South East London and raised by an academic father and dressmaker mother who called him Nicholas. They played him jazz and gospel records on a 78rpm wind up record player. They gave him paper and pencils and told him 'Art isn't just short for Arthur'. After spells in Somerset, the Midlands and Brighton, training as a painter and printmaker and working in bakeries, bars and building sites he returned to London and remembered his mothers words... and became an Artist not an Arthur. During his artistic career, Nick has drawn many newspaper and comic strips, including Dogtanian, The Trapdoor, Man and Best Friend, and Speak to me Victor.
