We contacted Stephen again to learn more about the creative process, influences, personal experiences, and insights for aspiring cartoonists. We were curious to know if the artist has any routines or habits that help him create comics regularly and stay productive. He jokingly replied that, firstly, he sits down and gets comfortable. Not too comfortable, though, because he doesn’t want to fall asleep. “Then I have to physically put my pen in my hand. If I don’t do that, I’m likely to start reading something, likeBored Panda. While Bored Panda can be a lovely treat during the day, it can also be a tool for procrastination for me.”
To add more intrigue, we asked Stephen to depict a typical day in his shoes as if his life were a comic strip. “I sort of do that now,” the cartoonist shared. “A lot of things depicted in the comic aren’t too far off from my life. I think I would make myself an iguana with a cowboy hat. Nothing like an iguana in customer service. It would be my life with a little flair.”
If you aspire to be a comic artist, Stephen has some advice for you! “Do what interests you. If you try and guess what people will like, it most likely won’t work. Have fun. That’s the most important.”
