I’m not a big hockey fan. This isn’t a big secret. I like watching the odd game, the World Junior Championship over the holidays, but I don’t follow the NHL. I guess you could say I follow hockey when it’s a national event. Obviously I would...

Over Christmas, a lot of my friends were talking about How I Met Your Mother. I had never seen the show, so I decided to catch up and see what all the fuss was about. Things around the studio have been really busy lately so I started watching episodes on lunch breaks....

This week I decided to stream both the pencils and the ink on the comic. Thanks again to everyone that stopped by! At the end of both streams I took a few minutes to do some live sketching with suggestions from the chat room. Here are a few of the...

This past weekend I was on a mission. I’ve been tuning in to watch other artists draw when they stream their work to Ustream or JustinTV and I really enjoy it. So, on Friday I set out to pick up a new webcam and give it a go. A little online research lead me to...

Over the weekend I was able to attend Podcamp Halifax 2010. The hash tag on Twitter is #podcamphfx. It was my first podcamp, and my first social media “un-conference”. I really enjoyed the presentations, though I was disappointed that I had to pick and...

We have a new name! Over the weekend I registered the official domain for StarcrossedOnline.com. I’m still hosting the site under my company umbrella, but this makes telling everyone where to read Starcrossed so much easier. I have also set up the official...

First up, yet again I am without a working scanner. I need to remedy the situation ASAP. I’m really happy with the original art for this weeks strip and I can’t wait to post something that isn’t mangled by my digital camera! I wrote this strip quite...

Happy New Year! 2010. I know it’s only been a few days, but it still hasn’t sunk in. One of the memes flowing around on Twitter has been, “What were you doing ten years ago?” It was actually a pretty cool trend to read. My contribution went...

I took advantage of the Boxing Day sales this year and picked up a new twenty-three inch LCD monitor for the studio. I used it when touching up today’s comic. I love my MacBook Pro but the thirteen inch screen is low and hard on the neck after a while....

My father asked me if Starcrossed is autobiographical. Not directly, no. Like any other cartoonist, each of my characters has a little bit of me in them. It’s unavoidable. Charlie, I will admit, probably has a little more than usual. As Sam develops I’m...

As I mentioned before, I have been drawing Starcrossed traditionally on bristol. I’m often curious about what other artists are using to make their comics. This may be a bit boring for some, but for anyone curious I’ve been using a 19″ x 24″...

A fun (and at times frustrating) part of starting Starcrossed has been trying to figure out a process to produce the strip. At first I was hoping to do draw the strip completely digitally. These first two comics are a combination of sketches scanned from my sketchbook...
