NICK NEDDO has been teaching people primitive skills since 2000. His interests span from Stone Age skills and technology, to nature observation and art. Drawing, however, is his first and greatest interest. His skill set also includes wilderness survival, tracking and awareness, basketry and hide tanning. He currently teaches at the Roots School in Vermont, where he runs classes and workshops for both adults and children on primitive arts, Stone-Age living skills, wilderness survival, and nature awareness. He lives in Montpelier, VT.
"His landmark contribution, The Organic Artist, is your Rosetta
Stone, if you will, and will unlock your creativity, whether you
are an artist or an earth living skills student or instructor.
Seriously. This is it. Your Golden Ticket, to a whole new world and
relationship to the wild around you. It opens the doors to a level
of exploration that most people haven't even tried to pass through,
because they 'didn't know how' to make their own paints, inks,
paper, or pigments. Until now, that's been a valid point. It's a
how-to book, through and through, but it's more than that. It's a
showcase of Nick's art, made from oak ink, or grapevine charcoal,
or beeswax crayons and hand made paper." - Ricardo Sierra, Hawk

"I highly recommend this book! Clear and concise, it has a place in
every art studio, every home, every school, and every summer camp.
Clear, concise and easy to follow makes this book a pleasure to
both use as a how-to book and read through for pleasure." - Michael
Pewtherer, author of the Wilderness Survival Handbook
"I think this book will be very popular among our readers, with
good reason. It's so well done, and written very purely, in close
touch with the earth. It's kind of a love story, because you can
feel how appreciated all of the earth's offerings are to the
artist." - The Essential Herbal Magazine
