As a truly immersive medium, comics are a great way to engage and touch lives. I’ve recently came across a beautiful digital comic called Cancer Owl created by Matthew Mewhorter who is currently undergoing cancer treatments. Matthew turned to drawing comics about his treatments as a way to cope and share with others who are also going through…

There is no set formula for determining the success of a social media campaign. Something along the lines of “if you get over X number of retweets or reach on Facebook, then you were successful” doesn’t apply to the social media campaigns because each has its own unique goals (you are thinking about the goals first, right?)…

International Stuttering Awareness Day takes place every year on October 22. I like to plan an awareness campaign each time. In the past I’ve created audio podcasts, special Google+ Hangouts throughout the day, blog posts, and tweeting stuttering fun facts mixed...

I recently relaunched my webcomic Superspud.com as a graphic blog (read: graphic journalism). My latest post reflects my frustration and utter bewilderment of the new UI for Skype 5.1 for Mac. In a nutshell, it’s unintuitive. I think the comic explains exactly...

I always love fresh, new ideas that are a little bit “out there” but you know they would totally be successful once tried out. One such idea comes from Mathew Hoy, web designer, games podcaster and comic nut. Mathew shares his idea in his Ignite London...

Yes, I’m talking about the latest St-St-Stuttering is C-C-Cool comic in glorious black and white. It’s a gag I had thought up for years for my other character, Spud, and now was a great time to use it. I don’t quite remember what lead me to come up...

The 6th St-St-Stuttering is C-C-Cool comic returns my online venture back to black and white comics (explanation). My preferred medium. And oh how great it is for an artist to work in his (or her) domain! I won’t abandon colour. I’ll save that for oil...

I’ve posted my last colour St-St-Stuttering is C-C-Cool comic. It just wasn’t my medium. I prefer and enjoy black and white. Always did. Colour turned out to be a lot of extra work that sucked all the excitement I had for drawing the comics. As I blogged...

Oh the horrors. I’ve worked so hard on my 4th episode of my St-St-Stuttering is C-C-Cool comic only to have it fall to pieces once I started inking it. It started with the markers I wanted the colour of the lettering to be the same as the panel borders. I had...

Episode number 3, Ordering Ordeal, of my St-St-Stuttering Is C-C-Cool comic is up. The story is modelled after my experiences of stuttering my mochaccino orders. Sometimes I’d get weird looks from the baristas and other times I don’t. It all depends on...
