The Blues Art of N.E. Florida Artist NiCKLOS

I've noticed this guys artwork at Mojo BBQ in Jacksonville but had no idea who did it. Last week, artist Mike Mitchell wrote an article for Jacksonville's Folio Magazine ( you can read the article in PDF form HERE ) about the artist Nicklos and his work. 
Here's a video showing more of what Nicklos does:




PS -  Big thanks to Mike for the shout out. To be named in the same sentence as the late Marty Scott is an honor indeed, but to be called a  "blues historian" is kind of over the top. Historian of blues of the future, maybe.
