Artist and YouTube celebrity, Ross Tran, is best-known for his color dodge magic, but has been busily working behind the scenes to expand his repertoire. He began developing the story of Nima, whose main protagonist was based a combination of his childhood influences and inspiration. In 2017, Ross successfully funded his Kickstarter project for Nima. As he was working on the release, Ross wanted to thoroughly explore the process of producing a book.
