Hi there, I'm Stef, a Toronto-based graphic designer, illustrator and the artist, writer and creator of Sarah Zero.

As a zygote, I loved drawing, building model cars and playing outside, but the older I got, the more I realized that computers were slowly gaining control over my life.

Computers introduced me to all kinds of fun things like a career, free music, infinite lulz and webcomics, which inspired me to launch a webcomic of my own, Sarah Zero. While SZ began in defiance of technology, I've since realized that computers are now in total control of my life. Digilife ain't easy.

Thanks for checkin' out SZ. I always love hearing from people, so if you have any questions or comments, send me an email or a tweet and I'll be sure to respond!

Sarah Zero is an ongoing story about a feisty redhead and a group of malcontents struggling to find love and validation on the internet. Sarah's trying to overcome her failings, find the strength to get her priorities straight and unstrange the estranged relationships in her real life.

I created Sarah way back in 1992, but it wasn't until early 2003 that I actually started a comic with her: Sarah Zero Classic. It was a weekly action/dramedy webcomic that I updated faithfully for 184 weeks until ultimately trashing it in late 2006. The story and art were weak, unoriginal and unsalvageable.

This site is the February 2007 SZ relaunch, featuring all-new everything, from the ground up. SZ is a semi-autobio examination of human behaviour, digital culture and our constantly-changing world. It's about making the right choices to become more than we are.

But Sarah herself doesn't always make the right choice, so in her quest to be happy and feel loved, she's gotta learn to drop the pretense, the anger, and realize that she's NOT better than anyone else.

While the SZ storyline is scripted and storyboarded well in advance, new page spreads are completed one at a time and appear online 28 seconds after they're completed.

Sarah Zero IS RATED PG28 FOR MATURE AUDIENCES: adult situations, mature themes, dangerous ideas, graphic violence, coarse language and overt sexuality.
