I've consistently produced comics since age 10, using mediums ranging from crayon to vector. My approaches to character and dialogue have brought me a growing and enthusiastic following of people who really aren't related to me. I am currently publishing in various places online; in the Oh! Comics anthology for Bob Corby, and I was a featured contributor to Jim Main's *PPFSZT! for Main Enterprises. I also contributed to the "Bowl Full of Happiness" sea monkeys anthology to raise funds for The Hero Initiative. And I created a picture font of ninjas. My current goal is to be the Leading Digital Stick Figure Cartoonist in Central Ohio. You can find me on Facebook(Michael Anthony Carroll, of course), and at www.gufpaht.com/michaelanthonycarroll, but I live in Columbus Ohio.
