My name is Raheem Nelson and I'm a cartoonist from New Haven, CT. I attended The Educational Center for The Arts and then went on to SVA. I was able to hone my craft at those two institutions. Since it was released I've used my Apple iPad to create all of my artwork. My goal from the beginning was to take everything I learned about traditional cartooning and apply it to a digital canvas. I use apps like Sketchbook Pro, ArtRage, and Brushes to create an assortment of work.
