Fall is one of my four favorite seasons – inside you’ll find details on notonly indoor, but also outdoor opportunities that are all the more pictur-esque because of the fall flavor in the air. Consider the Historical Society’s“Cemetery Stories” Oct. 7 (see page 8) at Oak Lawn Cemetery. It’s also agreat time to visit one of the nearbynature centers, River Bend NatureCenter in Faribault and MaltbyNature Preserve in Randolph (seepage 7 and 27). I would be remissto my fellow cast members if I did-n’t mention the NAG production,“Enemy of the People,” (see page 4)– a timeless, century-old scriptabout a small town, a crisis andreactions by the powers-that-be –sit back and find your own parallelsto modern-day Northfield! So slipinto a sweater and enjoy October.

An Enemy of the PeopleSept. 29-Oct. 8Northfield Arts Guild TheaterHenrik Ibsen’s stirring drama explores one man’s fight for the pub-lic good against forces of self-interest and apathy, in a brillianttranslation by Christopher Hampton of one of contemporary the-atre’s best-known authors. Even more than a century after it waswritten, this play’s characters and issues will be recognizable (evenin Northfield!) and relevant to modern audiences. Adults $12, stu-dents $8. Tickets available at the Northfield Arts Guild, online atnorthfieldartsguild.org or by calling 645-8877.
Action and Cowboy Mouth • Oct. 4-7 • 7:30 p.m.Haugen Theatre, St. OlafThese two one-acts, written by Sam Shepard in the early 1970s,show us characters stuck in realities they can’t change but canescape through imagination. In “Action,” four characters dogged-ly celebrate Christmas in the wake of the outside world’s destruc-tion; while in “Cowboy Mouth,” Shepard brings us the story anoutcast, fueled by the poetry of Nerval and the music of JohnnyAce, struggling to find salvation. Combining a rock ’n’ roll aes-thetic with an absurdist mentality, Shepard never lets the audi-ence forget the power of fantasy to combat the terror and bore-dom of lives lived in a hostile, unforgiving landscape. Shocking,funny, puzzling and inspiring, these plays explore the psychologyof the abandoned and the ways we all find to survive in the faceof society’s extreme indifference.

framing. That’s what Grezzo will be.LS: What is Grezzo?Nick: The raw material used to create
something, unrefined.LS: Is that what some people call your art?Nick: I don't care what they call it. I don't
like the whole philosophical art thing.There should be emotion attached toyour art, but people should just feel freeto go out and do something and not bebound by the trappings of what is “art.”It is really important to me that thegearheads, the guys wrenching on theircars, like my art. It is aggressive art, butit's what I love, fast, gas-burning cars.
LS: What is your definition of Low-BrowArt (the title of Nick's recent show).
Nick: Low-Brow is an attitude, it can't real-ly be defined.
LS: How do you promote your art?Nick: I've really tried to make connections.
I do that on-line, researching other hotrod artists, swapping links to my site,sinclairhotrods.com, posting on forums,sending samples to car clubs, to maga-zines.
LS: How's it going? Nick: I was in Rod and Custom because of
a posting. I expect to be profiled in KarKuture Deluxe before too long.
LS: How will you know when you've madeit?
Nick: When my art pays for all my expens-es. I want to develop a local following. Iwould like to be known by the KustomKulture genre as someone impor-tant…whatever that means. I'd like tosee my art hanging in garages. Thatwould be cool.
Just Curious…And so a few quick questions and answers.
Nick Sinclair is the creative geniousbehind a lot of the Entertainment Guideads. But as you’ll see – he has a lot of othercreative things going on.
LS: Tell me about your artistic beginnings.Nick: I've always drawn and done a lot of
snowboarding. I tried college, but I foundI did more snowboarding than attendingclasses. I guess I just wasn't ready. So Idecided to take a different route. While Iwas working at a shop doing engine tear-downs, I took a course at Hennepin Techfor automotive machinists, which wasbasically engine building. At the sametime, though, I was drawing. I starteddrawing people's cars and trucks, andthey really liked what I was doing.
LS: Did you work in the automotive field?Nick: Just barely. I didn't like the first garage
guy I worked with, he was kind of a jerk,so it put a bad taste in my mouth. I start-ed working at Perkins instead.
LS: So Perkins, snowboarding and drawing?Nick: Yeah, I moved to Missoula, Montana
in 1998 because it met my threerequirements: a college, mountains anda Perkins. I was there about a year, butdidn't go back to college and didn't domuch snowboarding, either.
LS: What did you do when you got back toMinnesota?
Nick: I went to Brown and took a programin graphic design. I took best in show formy portfolio there and I won excellencein video, which was a commercial for aBMX company in Milwaukee. But whenI got out I was really frustrated because I
By Lora Steil
Nick SinclairGraphic and hot rod artist
couldn't find a job. So I started workingat Target. I really wanted to make my hotrod art work so I sold my snowboardequipment to start my website, and thenI had a show at ArtOrg in February 2005.
LS: How did you land in Northfield?Nick: My friend and I visited during DJJD
days and we kept coming back. We vis-ited coffeeshops. Then we attendedFood Wars at ArtTech and I metMeredith who was playing and singingbetween acts and that’s when I decidedto stay.
LS: You currently work at By All MeansGraphics. What brought you here?
Nick: A fluke, really. I had walked by manytimes, mostly at night when BAM wasclosed, but I finally stopped in when theshop was open and lucky for me, theprevious graphic designer had just left. Istarted working part time in November2005 and full-time the following March.
LS: What's the greatest thing about work-ing here?
Nick: I get to think. I can use my creativityand get paid for it. There is no stresscoming to work.
LS: But this isn't all your doing is it?Nick: No, I just finished another show at
ArtOrg. This one was better than thefirst. We had a fantastic car cruise onopening night.
LS: But there's something else too, right?Nick: Yeah, Steve Delwiche and I are open-
ing a gallery next door to By All Means at16 Bridge Square. We hope to open witha show in November. We had kickedaround the idea of a gallery where vari-ous artists could come and do their work,with a gallery for display, retail sales and
