Choosing to paint to channel his energy he became well known to underground true crime enthusiasts and collectors.His paintings having been comissioned by the likes of Jonathan Davis (KORN), Merle Allin, Killjoy (NECROPHAGIA) and the late Gidget Gein (who penned the forword to Nico's book about notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez (The Son Of The Devil) shortly before he took his own life. Nico's fourth book MAYHEM & BURZUM In Fire And Blood is the first of its kind to tackle the complicated story of the black metal scene's two most infamous and influential bands.
