Nate’s chaotic drawings delves into the messy transition from childhood to adulthood, skillfully portraying the complexities of this journey through tender, sweat-and-memory-soaked depictions of friends and family scattered across the country. He tackles the uncomfortable existential questions that arise in youth, encapsulating the essence of great coming-of-age literature in just a few words. You’ll also see his work is more varied in every way than that of most other comics artists, yet he unfailingly maintains narrative momentum by carrying over details from one panel to the next, no matter how altered the angle of vision.

His art captures the ephemeral wonder that fades with time, addressing the universal longing for lost youth and offering it back to us with open hands. Through his work, he instills hope that while we may age, our dreams and the magic of youth remain forever within reach.
