This change shows he’s grown a lot as an artist. He also learned that it’s important to make comics for himself first, even though he’s happy when other people like them too. His experience teaches us that getting good at something takes a lot of practice, and it’s okay not to be perfect at the beginning. People enjoy his comics about living with cats because they can see their own experiences in them, which makes everyone feel more connected. More info: iizcat.com | Instagram | Facebook Nick cherishes receiving photos from fans showing their cats mimicking Minnie’s antics. He finds joy in every message and feels bonded with his audience over their shared love for cats. “My favorite is seeing a fan send me a picture of their cat doing the exact same thing Minnie does in the comics. That never gets old!” I’ve learned that I do need to make and dedicate time to create and draw. And sometimes I’ll doodle for hours and “nothing” comes from it. I don’t always have a comic or idea finished during each session, but it’s not wasted. It’s good just to play and have fun with things." My latest comic was inspired by one of my daughter’s favorite bedtime books called “Goodnight, Moon.” I took that concept and mixed it with some cat spices and out came that. There’s also plenty of ideas that I shelve because they are not fully baked, then I’ll come back to it days, weeks, months later when the idea finally finishes in my head. Also, like I mentioned above, sometimes all you need to do to get inspired/get over that creative block is to sit down and play. Not every session needs to be a finished product. Sometimes I’ll just draw Minnie and silly expressions or random thoughts. Sometimes a comic comes out, many times it’s just a bunch of scribbles." I would be lying if I told you I’ve found what works and what doesn’t. Sometimes it seems pretty random. I’ve had some posts go viral and other very similar posts barely move the needle. Or I’ll share a comic and it doesn’t get much traction, but then I’ll share that same comic a few months later and it goes nuts. The one thing I know that I can control is the content I create so that’s where most of my energy goes." Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
