He is also a comics writer and artist, with works including ''Superosity'', ''Sore Thumbs'', and ''Snap, the Punk Turtle.'' Early work In an interview, Crosby said he had been interested in comics since before he was old enough to remember. He first published a webcomic in 1995 through his AOL account. He also self-published some issues of a comic called ''Snap, the Punk Turtle'', which he says got him attention at Wizard, leading to coverage and then a gig writing a webcomic for AnotherUniverse.com's Mania magazine. After Mania stopped running webcomics in 1998, Crosby decided to start his own daily webcomic, which would be ''Superosity''. Around this time, Crosby was one of the writers on a print comic book series called ''Scorn.'' Three issues were published by SCC Entertainment: ''Scorn: Deadly Rebellion #0'' (July ...

Artists From South Dakota
An artist is a person engaged in an activity related to creating art, practicing the arts, or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse refers to a practitioner in the visual arts only. However, the term is also often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (although less often for actors). "Artiste" (French for artist) is a variant used in English in this context, but this use has become rare. Use of the term "artist" to describe writers is valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like used in criticism.
