Kerry & Malcolm Nicholson

Kerry & Malcolm Nicholson - Queensland (brothers) - Malcolm & Kerry have worked together for many years. Started off producing mass production paintings that they would sell door to door. Then ventured into painting Video Stores windows to advertise their movies. Duck Graphics was formed and by the time the bottom had fallen out of the video industry they had established themselves as sign manufacturers. Along the way they have painted many murals and have built up a rapport that allows them to both equally contribute to the relationship. Both artists in their own right but because of many years working together work well as a team.
