DBL #6 - NICK LOARING
Some people may remember him as Nick Enslaved if they bought records from his label/distro back in the 90s or saw him doing vocals for the bands Ebola or Boxed In.
He now runs The Print Project workshop in Shipley near Bradford where he operates a bunch of printing presses and has made print his business for the past ten years. Nick's artwork is very bold, geometric and colourful. You can buy this work directly or if you are local to the Newcastle area visit Northern Print for a look in person. Here is a cool short video where he explains the methods used to make these prints.
His first gig doing vocals in a hardcore band was for Ebola supporting Los Crudos here in Newcastle at the Broken Doll, 1996. This was an important show for me and also for Nick because it was his vocal debut which he mentions later on in the conversation.
He also did some sleeve printing nearly 20 years ago now for a record I was involved in making. I remember asking if he could print the sleeve as cheaply as possible and still have it look good. He did both no problem... I'd always been grateful for that.
There's lots of information here and it was great to get in depth and hear him talk so enthusiastically about skateboarding, the 90s UK h/c scene and printmaking amongst other things...
