About

My name is Nick Johnson. I’m the “face behind the curtain”, so to speak. I started Missing Link Artistry in 2020, mostly as a place to compile all of my portfolios. I knew I wanted to sell artwork, and it quickly expanded from prints of my physical works, to computer-designed stickers, and beyond.

I recognize my privilege as only a few standard deviations (straight-passing queer, not necessarily visibly physically disabled) off the norm (read: White, cishet, able-bodied male). As such, I try to use my platform to deconstruct some of the harmful narratives around the marginalized parts of my identity while holding myself and others accountable. 

Knowing how integral activism is to me and my work, giving back to various charities is an important part of my business model. I’m not afraid to speak my mind on political issues, as art has always been a medium for advocating social change. Seeing as my body doesn’t allow me to participate in marches and things of that ilk, I firmly stand behind art as activism.

On the occasions I’m not creating art, you can probably find me playing my ukulele and guitar, reminiscing about my assorted  international travel experiences, or cuddling animals. Or napping. Naps are good.
