30 Characters Challenger: Matt Stout
Hi friends! My name’s Matt Stout, and I’m a dude that likes comics. Â I live in Kentucky with my wife and dog and a baby on the way in January. Â By day, I’m a seminary student and mailroom manager. Â By night, I draw two comics! My main comic is Big Sandy Gilmore, which updates three times a week. Â My second project is called Community Life, which is (mostly) a single-panel comic for the seminary that I attend. Â I’m also the co-host of The Lightbox Podcast, a weekly webcomics podcast I do with Chris Flick of Capes N Babes.
I’m participating in the 30 Characters challenge for a few reasons. Firstly, I am trying to expand the worlds of both of my comics, and want my main cast to start interacting with characters other than each other. Â This will give me a chance to do some great world-building. Â Secondly, I just got Adobe Illustrator, and I need to practice using it as much as possible and this is a great excuse. Â Thirdly, fun!
