Nick Dewar:: 1973-2010




Renowned illustrator Nick Dewar died just this week at the age of 37. His artwork graced a plethora of magazines and publications, including the cover of The Devil Wears Prada.

He lived in Prague, London, New York and a sheep farm in Cumbria. He recently moved from New York to Southern California, where he no longer had to bathe in his kitchen. Nick Dewar is known, and will be remembered, as one of the best illustrators of our time.

37 is far to young to leave this Earth, despite a legacy left behind.
