It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and legendary artist, Marco, known to the blotter art community as Dr Nuse89, from Phoenix, Arizona.
Marco’s journey with BlotterArt.io began back in 2012, when we collaborated on our very first blotter art print together. That piece sold out almost immediately and marked the start of a creative partnership that spanned over a decade. In total, we released five different blotter art prints by Dr Nuse89, each one embraced by collectors and shipped to art enthusiasts across the globe. His vision, originality, and unmistakable style helped shape the culture of blotter art collecting in a profound way.
Beyond the art, Marco was a close friend. We shared countless conversations and bonded over our mutual love for vintage treasure hunting. He was someone who truly understood the joy of discovery, whether it was through creating a work of art or finding hidden gems from the past. His absence leaves a tremendous void, and I will deeply miss our talks and the camaraderie we shared.
At this difficult time, our thoughts are with his wife, Angela, who has been by his side through everything. If you are able, please consider helping her with funeral expenses through the GoFundMe link below:

Marco’s legacy will live on through his art and the countless lives he touched. We are grateful to have walked this creative path with him, and his memory will always remain part of the BlotterArt.io story.
Rest in peace, Nuse. You will be greatly missed.
