Tom Hicke started life with a struggle that bent him forever toward artistic enterprise. Fueled by a massive imagination, he pursued his craft diligently toward a eclectic yet keen personal vision. Unfortunately, the bulk of his professional work was diversified into oblivion. The universe no longer held its breath and the grains of the great cosmic hour glass continued to fall with only minor fanfare. And so it was....until the extraordinary happened; Tom’s delusions of unremarkable security screeched to a halt. And thus the world was flipped back to its proper position, and Tom was brought to Deviant Art to pursue his life’s mission: To fully bring his dreams and nightmares to life on paper, panel, canvas, and computer screen.
