The Dawning of a New Age - The Age of Justus

And in the Thirteenth Year, God said, "Let there be Justus!" And a new age dawned. And the morning and the evening were the Twentieth Day of the Thirteenth Year of the Second Millennium, as counted by the Scribes of the Digital Disciples, and as foretold by the Prophets of Print.

That's one recounting of it, anyway.

Because the world is full of injustice, and because true justice only emanates from God and not man, that leaves only Justus - Nick Justus.

To be certain, this blog is not about religion. Nick Justus' art is not a religious experience. It's not even about souls - though it is about soulful. Soulful talent.

The artistic talent of a one Nick Justus - an individual that God, in His infinite wisdom, saw fit to bestow the gift of artistry on.

Fast forward to the present day, and we find that this artistic scion of Dillwyn, Virginia has trekked to the state that bears his initials, NJ. That's right, fans-to-be and fans-that-shall-come-lately, I'm talking about none other than the Garden State, New Jersey.

With the original Garden of Eden having been corrupted by the sins of our forebears, Adam and Eve, that left our resident artist-in-admiration with little choice but to carve out a new Eden of his own. Thus did a Son of the South become a Son of the North. The one. The same. Nick Justus.

Certified publicly on his very own Facebook page as what he, himself, described as his "one fan," we ever are true and devout fans of the talent, skill, and techniques that stand self-evident in the artistic renderings of this very same Nick Justus.

Why refer to myself as "fans" and "we," if I am but one person? Verily, I say unto thee, "We are fans - me, myself, and I."

Because, sometimes, being a fan just isn't good enough!

And that's the way that it is with Nick Justus' art. I just can't get enough. I'm always wanting more. And Nick Justus is just too damned good at what he does to not have fans with fervor.

Know, one and all, that you stand invited to join me on this journey, on this trek toward Justus, on this blog across the great artistic landscape that flows forth from the man whose God-given talents and artistic accomplishments inspired a need within me to pay tribute where tribute is due.

Welcome to the dawning of a new age - The Age of Justus!
