The Creator:

Ben Wilson is a teenager aspiring in  art, music and internet softare and design mostly. He spends his time on these things and also other, smaller projects like writing stories. He has done alot on the internet since January of 2007 when he got his first laptop. The internet has brought many good oppertinuties for him like the website and community of talkshoe. There he gained many friends who help and teach him almost daily. He started work on this comic late 2007 but the official start date of the comic is April 2008. He also publiches his comics and art projects on his deviantart page. He gets inspired by many things. His inspiration for art focused on his few favourite comics he reads such as  the classic Calvin and Hobbs By Bill Watterson and focused on the art form of webcomics such as PvP by Scott Kurtz which he has read since 2004 and was one of his first comics he read. He also gets inspired by his friends and family. Though he doesn’t show it much he thanks others for the help and (sometimes constructive) critisim he gets. (He is also a bad speller at times!)

How I make my strip!

I use the free-ware program GIMP. It is basically a free, easy version of photoshop. I use my Wacom, Bamboo and draw the strip digitally with the pen tool. I also use GIMP to edit, color etc. the strip.
