Topeka-based Printmaker Nick Perry was selected to design the 2025 Smoky Hill River Festival Print.

With a foundation rooted in drawing and printmaking, Nick Perry of Red Legger Studio works in an illustrative, semi-psychedelic style of pop surrealism.

He uses screen printing as the ideal medium to display his graphic style that teeters the line between fine art and a low brow cartooning vibe. He creates narratives blending both the sacred and ephemeral. In addition to history and American culture, his influences include underground comics and outlaw print makers.
