Overview

The first career-spanning book from Bay Area artist Tucker Nichols, Mostly Everything: The Art of Tucker Nichols attempts to capture, in one extravagant volume, decades of the artist’s varied work, from drawings with words, drawings without words, paintings, and sculpture, to large- and medium-scale public works, editorial illustrations, picture books, doodles, notes, charts, lists, and more.

Some of the work included in this book involves:
• Bucolic scenes
• Notes to self
• Hairstyles
• Death
• Rocks of note
• Flora
• Control panels
• Branches
• Diagrams
• Cloud formations
• Monuments
• Advanced yoga poses
• Bugs

Bound in a luxurious, hard-to-describe double-hardcover book, with two spines and two overlapping cover boards, and clocking in at over 300 full-color pages, Mostly Everything: The Art of Tucker Nichols contains a lifetime of making that can’t quite be contained.
