PUBLIC SCHOOL is a group of creative folk working on the east side of Austin together, yet not together. The same studio, different professions. Similar tastes, varying favorite Bob Dylan song. Consistently unified love for the Mexican food on the east side of town.
Our collective and individual clients include Chronicle Books, Conde Nast, Sweet Leaf Tea, Iron and Wine, Baylor University, Ogilvy & Mather, LIVESTRONG, Pearson Publishing, Stussy, Time Inc., NIKE, The University of Texas, The Sunday Times of London, as well as a few other folks.
The phrase “photo envy” gets thrown around at our studio here and there. Casey and I occasionally email one another links with that as the subject to warn the other that envy is about to come on. I’m not sure where I came across Nikola’s work, but he is definitely someone I describe as giving me photo envy.
See his work at Home of the Vain.
Ooohhh yes, I’ve been following NT as well since reading that great article about him in the New York Times:

Also, a woman who models for him, Vera Balyura, has an indulgently quirky line of jewelry that I adore. Verameat.com
