# About me

Hi! I'm Nick. I am the creator of a comic called Super Hero Society, or SHS for short. I just moved to California from Iowa to pursue a career in the comic world. So we'll see how that goes. I just figured it'd be smart to have a deviantart along with the million other social networks out there, since this site is full of amazing artists I'd love to get to know.

Besides that...I love the color green, love turtles, and of course am a huge nerd. That's about it, really. Enjoy the doodles! Let me know what you like, what you don't like, or whatever. Feedback always helps!

Social media? Just get it everywhere, really. Tumblr, DeviantArt, Facebook, Imgur, Reddit...anywhere that will take your work. Especially your stand-off pictures. That covers a ton of fanbases and will get you a lot of love as long as those fans have a chance to see it. I just started doing those mini pictures again since they take minutes to make, but they're already doing pretty okay on Tumblr. After that, you just keep giving them more, and consistently, so they get to see your style and stick in their head instead of just scrolling past. The rest is luck, I guess.

Small pageviews for the epic one?
We must find more people to see this art.
