My next project after that was my comic book Emo Boy, in which I got a little better at telling complete stories with beginnings, middles, and ends. I would make up characters and comic book ideas in high school but never really got far in writing them – once I started my “Steverino” comic strip my senior year (12th grade), I started realizing the outlet writing could be. I always loved drawing, so I pictured myself becoming a comic book artist, or doing a newspaper comic strip. Honestly anything I look back on is bad, my art from childhood to teen years looks awful to me, even things from a few years ago I’ll cringe at so I guess I’m my own worst critic, but people around me have always been supportive, I was always “the artist” in school, even though now I look back and think the art I was doing was awful!Īnd when did you decide that you wanted to become an author?

I then saw on Steve’s website that someone asked him for a drawing in the post (mail), but they never sent their address I thought I’d be cheeky and ask for it instead. I loved this book and bought my own copy. It was like nothing I’d ever read before: it’s like a comic mixed with a novel, with the author Stephen Emond creating a font from his own handwriting and drawing all of the illustrations himself. A few years ago I found a book in the library called Happyface.
