Getting to know

Nicholas “Click” Reichard

There was a time in my life when I buzzed my head, and another when I let my hair grow past my shoulders. Thankfully, both phases were short-lived! But through all the twists and turns of life, I've experienced moments that shifted the way I see the world, both as an individual and as an artist.

In my desk, I keep a book with over 2,000 "get to know you better" questions. It’s something I’ve always intended to give to my children one day. Every week or so, I sit down and fill out a page, answering a mix of thoughtful and silly questions, always adding the date. I've been doing this for years, and it’s fascinating to look back at my responses, seeing how much I've grown and how some of my answers might be different today.

That’s what life is about—changing, growing, and reflecting. Sometimes, it's important to take a step back and appreciate the journey. Here are a few of my favorites.
