About this site

You’ve landed at the Nicholsloy Studio online shop—and we’re glad you’re here!

This online shop is devoted the extensive back catalogs of Oregon artists Nic and Sloy, who met and “set up shop” in 1981 to see if they could “transcend the known and be together forever.” They kind of did and they kind of were.

Here you’ll find various items—from the mundane to actual art—that celebrate Nic and Sloy’s work. All profits and donations go directly Nic, helping us support him and preserve their legacy.

We’ve built the site on the Fourthwall platform, which is new to us. We invite you to poke around and offer your unvarnished feedback either on the feedback page or in an email to us. We’d love to hear any ideas you might have for making it even better or easier to use within the constraints of the platform. 

The site you see here is just the beginning. We’ll add more works and items over time and as they become available. Join the mailing list if you’d like to be notified of any big changes or additions. We promise never to share your information or spam your inbox.

Who the heck are “we”? We’re Rick and Geoff, and this project is a labor of love for our bonus dad, Nic. We’re learning as we go and while we roam around this big ol’ world of ours. You can find us at modernhobos.com.

Thank you for visiting, for supporting Nic, and for being part of this journey with us!

About Nic and Sloy

"sloy and i hooked up years ago this january.  our relationship was founded on an extraordinary love affair and the dedication of our lives to art.

i was a painter.  sloy a writer. over the course of writing 20 books of poetry and experimental prose novels, sloy’s work evolved into paintings of words and phrases.

i continue to paint.  live lines, circles and space. inner space, outer space and negative space."
