Nick Koenigsknecht created this cover of his high school diary long before his career as a prominent art dealer. This highly collectable item clearly suggests a creative predisposition early in life. There is a notable use of distinctly varied line qualities, mixed media, and emphatic phrasing.
While the exact contents of the diary are undisclosed, Nick divulges something about the material within:
“(The journal) was this ridiculous book of dicks and poems I was writing while figuring out my gayness. My biggest fear was that someone would look inside so I wrote all sorts of texts on the cover imploring the curious not to.”
