Nelson is another great example of an artist who has an incredible amount of experience in practical matters such as education and publishing to name a few. He is currently on faculty at The California College of the Arts (CCA) and has previously helmed the production manager role for Aperture and their publications. He is an incredibly gifted artist in his own right and manages to still help out a great number of colleagues with their projects. He is also one of the founding members of TIS.
