Asked how his art style evolved over time, and what factors influenced these changes, Berthiaume explained: “My style has evolved because, with all the competition out there, you need to constantly try to surprise. You have to avoid the easy jokes because someone has probably thought of it before. I think my followers are used to being shocked and weirded out and that’s the way I like it. Of course, I haven’t evolved much in the pun area. I will always be a sucker for a good groan-inducing pun.”
We were wondering how the artist balances the creative aspects of his work with the business side of things, such as marketing and promotion. Sean shared with us: “I’m bad at marketing. I find it hard to put myself out there too much. I just want to spend my time drawing. But of course, with Patreon and online stores, you need to constantly be providing your fans with new reasons for them to subscribe.”
Lastly, we asked Sean to describe a pivotal moment or experience that significantly impacted his growth as a comic artist: “It’s always nice when something goes viral. But you can’t try to make something go viral or it seems like you’re pandering. You just need to keep putting out material that’s true to you and keep creating and be proud of what you do and maybe that will catch on. And not be scared that something is gonna fail. My biggest surprise is when I think a comic may not be great and people really love it. There’s not one pivotal moment. It’s lots of tiny ones.”
