Thought you might like to see my creative process. Thursday’s is my writing day. I go to the local coffee shop which helps get me out of the studio with a fresh perspective on things. I have a pad that I jot down my notes and sketches in and work them out. If there is a new character popping up, I like to get a basic design down before I continue writing gags for him. I will make change through the entire process, adjusting camera angles, refining the wording etc. When I get a week (preferably 2) done I go home and begin drawing them up. I usually have to work on Saturday to finish the complete week.

    What, no iPad? Steve Jobs would be very disappointed.

    It’s funny you mention that one, Paul! I kept second guessing myself on it, but every time I looked at it fresh, I just started cracking up. I think it’s the juxtaposition of the dramatic Spaghetti Western camera angles and the goofiness of “Strawberrie Shortcake” final panel. I hope it strikes everyone the way it strikes me. I think it will depend on how goofy I render the unicorn to sell it.

    The unicorm is a sure sign that you need to cut back on the caffine bro.

    Thanks, Graham! I love seeing how the gears spin …
