Kameron White — Artist Interview — Milestone Initiative — Episode #105

This all started way back in March of this year. It is now December 1, 2022. I know that patience is sometimes called a virtue, but in this case, I believe it is also a value, and like all things so much more. This conversation is a gift. It’s the kind of experience I hope to leave behind every time. And like every conversation that has come before and the many more that I hope will come after, it holds the same truths. It says this is one experience, this is one understanding, your moments will be different, and the more of our moments that we share with each other the greater insight we gain.

Kameron White is a comic artist, illustrator, and designer who works with traditional and digital mediums, including ink, pencil, watercolor, and digital formats. His favorite things to create original characters and worlds, fashion designs, and fun, eccentric stories. Within his work, he aims and works towards displaying a diverse group. This includes People of Color, LGBTQ+ characters, characters of different body sizes, characters with disabilities, and characters of various backgrounds. He also places these characters in sceneries that are not common in history, especially Black and Brown bodies in mythological and religious settings, and imagery.
Growing up, he didn’t see many characters like himself in terms of race, gender, sexuality, experience, or body type. In Kameron’s body of work, he wants to include as much diversity as he can. He also aims to document his own personal stories, by illustrating comics going through his personal journeys as a Black and Indigenous Trans man. With his stories, he hopes to inspire and help other people who might relate and know that there is someone who has been there too.
One of his stories was featured in the “We Are Here: All-Trans Anthology”, where he shared his story with other amazing Trans artists. Their book recently won the Ignatz 2019 award for Outstanding Anthology. He also has illustrated a story included in “Proud,” an anthology of stories and poetry by LGBTQ+ YA authors collected by Juno Dawson. Each story in the book is accompanied by an artist identifying in the LGBTQ+ community and recently won Book of The Year in the 2020 Visionary Honours awards.

The Milestone Initiative 

In 1993, four Black creators founded Milestone Comics: a new universe of Black and diverse superheroes, brought to life by Black creators and other artists of color. Milestone didn’t just change the way our heroes looked; it built a pipeline for talent who had been excluded and marginalized for too long, and a system in which Black creativity could thrive. Now, with the relaunch of Milestone Comics and the creation of The Milestone Initiative, we want to honor the creators of Milestone by continuing their mission.
