Phillip-Nelson

Award winning model, artist, and author Phillip Nelson considers his multi-faceted career a blessing. He was born wild-spirited and free. He spent most of his childhood in the countryside of Oklahoma and Texas. When he was young, he often envisioned himself becoming a lawyer, artist, or writer. The son of a carpenter, he started drawing, painting, and writing at a very young age. As Phillip grew older, his love for the arts continued.

Since childhood, Phillip has taken an interest in painting and other forms of art. Over the years, he continued to master various art techniques and mediums. Being an artist at heart, Phillip withheld his talent from many people except his friends and family. In 2015, Phillip made his art debut with his mini-series titled Thr3e (which consists of three paintings total). His debut painting Storm: Winter Heart sold out of the unfinished limited editions and became one of his many bestselling paintings to date.

Shortly after, Phillip began his first full-run series which combines his Thr3e mini-series set alongside various superhero paintings from select Marvel and DC characters. In April 2020, Phillip announced he’s currently writing and creating the artwork for his own graphic novel series. Phillip has also been contributing artwork for various comic book series over the past few years. In 2018, Phillip was nominated for the Best New Artist award for his 2017 painting: STORM.

Outside of art, Phillip is currently writing his first book titled: Leaf in the Wind. The book is a memoir based on his philosophical values of life and self-discovery as he reveals the extensive sexual, physical, and emotional abuse he has overcome. Phillip wanted to share his life experiences with others who may identify with an abusive background. It is his desire to inspire those who have experienced such difficulties to become survivors and not victims.
