Breakspear Inc.

Welcome to the visionary world of Nick Breakspear and his creative Art ensemble, known as ‘Breakspear Inc’. The ‘Inc’ part of the ‘Breakspear Inc’ nom de plume, refers to all those ‘included’ playmates who have aided and abetted Nick in painting his fresh pictures for over three decades.

Through music, film, books and blogs, Nick shares his offbeat journey from a Jesus-following perspective, mostly outside the confines of religious institutions. A creative quest that’s drawn him and his fellow sojourners to many far-flung places around our ever spinning globe, recording whatever they found in front of them.

First and foremost Nick employs his music video storytelling approach to try and make sense out of life’s crazy events. Which earnestly began in Jerusalem back in 2005 when he was asked a showstopping question by Valerie an 85-year-old Holocaust survivor, who said;

“What do you see?” Ever since, he’s been trying to apply that soul-searching phrase to his own ongoing pilgrimage. Which has taken him and “Inc” to some of the most beautiful as well as precarious locations on our unstable planet. Sharing the same waves … clambered over the same piles of rubble as some of our less fortunate fellow human beings — fleeing war-torn conflicts — both at home and abroad.

Disturbing encounters, sent to help us learn what that ancient Native American proverb instructs;

“Do not judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins”

Perspective-altering experiences, sent to help us recognise we are all image bearers — stamped with the same reflective image as our Original Creator. So why would we want to hurt the Creator in one another — causing the same red blood as our own ~~~ to flow, don’t we all bleed the same red blood and aren’t we all just trying to find that elusive haven of peace on which to live peacefully upon the earth?

Unsurprisingly these experiences found their way into Nick’s writings, songs and films.
