I have to say my creative career started in earnest in 2008. I went to college to take 3d animation. I wanted to work on the story of Kurall, a superhero character I had imagined while playing City of Heroes. The first year was all about how to use what I was learning to create the story which would eventually become Tales from Trinity City.
In my second year, I worked on a 3d project called Opening Day, a project that Tim Burton watched in Toronto the next year and said was great.
After I graduated, I worked the corporate world for a while. By 2015, I needed to work on something creative. It’s in my DNA. If I don’t, my mental health takes a dive. So I started to work on various projects – everything from a web comic called GamerGate Trolls to various blogs.
Eventually, Tales from Trinity City called again and I’ve been working on it since Sept. 2019. I decided to limit myself to creating a TableTop RPG, because that was the ‘fastest’ way to create my story. I’ve been working ever since.
I’ve also built up so many authors around me. I want to create a counter to Cancel Culture. If 100s of authors, artists, game devs and comic book creators can connect with 1000s of fans – we can start to limit or even reverse the damage idiots cause by being ‘outraged’.
So far, I’ve decided Minds is the best place to create that group. You can’t create something in the same places Cancel Culture exists and expect it to take off. On Minds, I get to help so many creatives, and they also help each other. We build up friendships and we can start to give the finger to outrage idiots on Twitter.
I’m also writing a political satire series – Webtastic Stories. I love picking apart the senseless BS on the Internet, and this is one huge ‘Shitpost’ about how fucked the Internet is.
