Today we’d like to introduce you to Kameron White.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I am a comic artist, illustrator, and designer from Houston, TX, now residing in Minneapolis, MN. I graduated with a BFA in comic art from Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2018. I’ve always wanted to make my own stories and comics. My favorite things to create are original characters, worlds, fashion designs, and fun, eccentric stories. Within my work, I work towards displaying a diverse group.
As an Afro-Indigenous, queer, and disabled individual, I’ve been in a place where not seeing yourself represented or represented in a stereotypical light can affect you immensely. Rather than let it discourage me, it powers me to move forward and turn this scenario around, making sure people see themselves and their stories represented.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
A LOT. However, I’ve encountered a few examples of discouragement along the way, including people who tend to take advantage of artists, especially comic artists. Some people view what we do as quick and easy. Sometimes I’ve had to take jobs for low pay or “exposure” to push myself farther along and learn how to respect my own time and craft.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I specialize in comic art, illustration, and graphic design. Through my work, I strive to create meaningful representation, with a particular focus on Black and Indigenous communities. Because these communities have so often been excluded from history or portrayed through harmful stereotypes, I aim to celebrate our joy, resilience, and pride. My artwork highlights the richness of our stories and identities, creating space for authentic, uplifting representation.
Any big plans?
I recently completed my first graphic novel, Light Bright, based on the life of Steve Majors and adapted into a comic by Quincy Scott Jones. It will be published by Graphic Mundi in 2027. I was responsible for the penciling, inking, lettering, and coloring throughout the book, making it an incredibly rewarding project from start to finish.
I am now working on my next graphic novel while continuing to develop and publish my own original stories. Alongside my comics, I hope to expand my body of work with more illustrations and projects.
