When you think of metal work you might not be able to imagine beautiful art, but Chris is doing that for you. Chris manages to creat creatures from the deep like jellyfish and fish to flowers and chameleons!

Chris Nichols is a metal artist that uses welding and blacksmithing processes to create wildlife and abstract sculptures from salvaged materials. The metal used in his work is a collection of machinery & automotive parts and antique tools acquired over several years of traveling the country.

After almost 9 years of serving in the U.S. Coast Guard as a machinery technician, he separated with the plan to do custom metal fabrication but found art instead In the summer of 2020 he established RustLand Revision and is now a full time artist with the goal to keep evolving and creating larger and more intricate pieces.
