Everyday I am Shiffining

An original green hero pen. Via www.ioffer.com We all have that story of a lost friend, don't we? Images and experiences lost in that vast world of memories. Those lost 'visions' that pops up in your brain when you least expect it to. The story behind 'Shiffining' is something similar. The relatively newer generation ( because I like to think I belong to the new generation) would find the story a little hard to relate to.  There was a time in our lives when mobile phones and cameras were luxuries that most of our parents could not afford.

The Idea Behind The Avatar Series

Why should someone like me, who has no technical/artistic ability, make a comic strip based on Bitstrips characters? To be honest, the idea has always been there. To create characters with whom everyone can associate. And to make them do things that contemporary superheroes fail to do.
