2011 Challenger:Travis Surber
I’m Travis Surber,Creator of the webcomic Hainted Holler which updates 5 days a week,and follows Southern Geeks in a Redneck town.I was attracted to the Challenge because I’m constantly drawing or writing down strange little characters and ideas.Since I started the webcomic a lot of these ideas have made their way into various strips,but more than a few still rattle around in my head.For me this is a chance to give them physical form while stretching my abilities as a self-taught cartoonist.My style tends to be loose and cartoony,but I’m going to be trying out some new ideas,giving people a first look at NEW characters for the strip,and just random general silliness.
And as if maintaining a M-F webcomic and the challenge wasn’t enough,my first child was born recently as well,so extra challenge as well.

I’m doing the same thing with the challenge, going to give some characters “rattleing” in my head life. Your style is great for a self-taught cartoonist, there’s a real joy to it. Can’t wait to see what fun characters you create! WhaZOoM!
Thanks.I’ve got some real strange things lined up.Since i don’t have a lot of time I’m doing the characters as my warm up drawings before I tackle the strip each day.
