The Create a Comic Project (CCP) is a youth literacy activity that uses comics to teach creative writing. It began in the summer of 2005 as a classroom activity when I was teaching English overseas. After moving back to America to start graduate school, I noticed that in the area where I was living there were a lot of disadvantaged youth whose schools couldn't afford good extracurricular activities. To help give back to the community, I re-structured the Create a Comic Project into an afterschool program based in the main branch of the local library.

The first CCP session in America was November 29, 2006. Since then, it has attracted sponsors including Yale University, the New Haven Public Library, the Community Foundation of Greater New Haven, the University of Pittsburgh, and the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. In the comic community, it has found support from creators like Kazu Kibuishi, T. Campbell, Shaenon Garrity, Phil Foglio, and many others. The project continues to this day, bringing comics to children of diverse backgrounds.

I cut my soul out of my own chest and replaced it with a balloon animal... I just wanted to make someone laugh before I died.

I started drawing comics in my notebook shortly after my 11th birthday. Fifteen years later, I am still uncomfortable drawing on unlined paper. Unfortunately, that gimmick had been done already, so I learned Photoshop, but still have no idea what to do with this skill. The end.
