The past few months I've been redesigning some of my favorite characters from Matilda. There's a ton of other drawings I did that I may compile into a little sketchbook. One thing doing this project is to test how well I can stay on a tight schedule. And what I learned is that is hella hard, but not impossible. I learned a ton of time management ideas through failing a lot through this. Hope y'all like! Got more stuff in the mix!
At this year's @spx, joined by @franksantoro I was able to translate how my mind works when creating comics. Music to me is math, comics are geometry, so the two go hand in hand. I'm not gonna give away much sooooo, give this a watch to learn how I combine the two using geometry to make melodic comics.

I hope this is a first talk of many in my career, enjoy!
This has been a couple months in the making and now i can finally bring this idea to LIFE! We always have a the problem with finding out where we need to get our small press books printed. and we always seems to find things to fine tune in our work . . . working hard until the LAST MINUTE. Well i want to help change that. . . My name is Cameron Nicholson, a Storyteller across various mediums based in Richmond, VA. A little back story on me: born and raised in Portsmouth Va. I’ve been to various states all along the east coast and west, seeing and meeting amazing people. Being in Richmond has opened my eyes to the amazing talent here and i want to add to that. My plan? To invest in a Risograph Printer. What is a Risograph (or Riso) you ask? Let me break it down for you . . . A Riso is a simple yet brilliant tool for anymore interested in producing high quality prints on a shoestring budget. environmentally quick & easy to setup. affordability is KEY Riso printing also use soy based inks
Riso printing relies on a layering technique to produce multicolored prints. From holiday cards to full comics. There are almost endless possibilities with this astonishing printer. Having this printer will not only let me make a name for myself in the comics world but also be able to become a publisher in the future! I’ve got awesome ideas and big goals for my future and i want to share those possibilities with you. One major thing i can help is representation of people of color in the comics world. It is a goal to help push that forward. (one of the many goals) Once i obtain the printer i’ll have to do a few test runs to get used to the machine and get all of the kinks out. So a few months after acquiring the printer i’ll be able to open up shop for local (virginia) jobs only. Later this year i should be able to open up shop for the US, and in the future internationally. It’s honestly going to take a lot to get that far but with your help i’ll be able to start this long journey. The goal? to raise $ 3,000 USD this will have cover the printer being delivered with 2 extra color drums + the black drum installed with a USB direct print controller installed in the machine. My aim goal? I want to aim to raise this money by this time next month. So i can get busy on opening up shop! I would appreciate this more than cars appreciate gas. Please & thank you all!

All the same link, go go go go go! :D
The idea of accepting your current state. Moving too quickly can halt you from actually learning. There's nothing wrong with taking your time as long as you get the work done. Speed comes with practice, but it's not about speed. It's about being efficient. Efficiency it what really creates good work and a good work ethic. I believe the finish line is no endgame. It's only a guide to help you get past it. And keep moving, right? Always keep chipping away at that mountain I once heard. How do you eat a 2 ton elephant? (First of why?) but the answer is ONE BITE AT A TIME. Each step in creating something from the ideas you've generated is just a step. One foot in front of the other. Right? Yes You will fail. And that's it, failing is another step. Move the next foot ahead, and again and again. (You're starting to get the hang of it.) As an artist/creative/person. You're always in last or second place. There is no one GREAT; not one person on this planet is the "best" at anything. By being the best, you've got nothing to gain. Expectation will arise and will always stop you for a few, unless that sand trap is deeper than you thought. Once you've "made it", and by that I mean, when eyes are watching you. Expectation for you to top yourself with appear; but don't worry, expectation is only level 1, {easy prey}. All in all, in this race, there are finish lines. And after every project or even a after a great drawing you've jumped one and moved on. But then after a while you question, why. and that's the wild card.

From my heart to you.
It's hard to working on things when you have so many ideas. When with lists and planners, and calendars and notes.
It's like what do you do next a beautiful girl sings you a song.
What do you do next when a good looking dude walks by you with a well put together outfit.
Or when she kisses you on check and says it's over.
Or when he stops to say hello.
What do you do with so much inspiration.
So many ideas
So much time / so little time
What do you do when they approach you with those words
When they care so much
When they cry
Yell
Smile
What do I do with a life so pure
Yet so short to the eyes of the viewer
This experience is so long
Yet it's limited to what I own
Vs.
What is given to me
Or even stolen from my existence
It's a hard process of thought
A difficult idea pressed with many foreign notes.
I love you, was it that hard?
Debit checks
