Extras
Some of the awesome things I make don't quite belong on their own page or fit on the other standard webcomic pages. Kind of like me in high school... But there's a place for them here! Downloads, tutorials, and papercraft so far. Please check them out.
Downloads
We have a few avatars to download and try on: 100 x 100 pixels for your convenience. Just right-click and save.
Tutorials
How I make comic pages is briefly described in a tutorial of my Basic Procedure.
What to know more about how I make SSGrapes? I did an interview about my writing process at All About the Words and talk about my experience making a long-form comic at Growly Beast.
Papercraft
We have paper models of SSG characters for you to download and construct. The instructions are pretty photo heavy so they are broken down into three steps each.

Silas instructions
- Print the patterns onto heavier paper like card stock or matte photo paper for extra durability.
- Make sure the printer doesn't rescale the image.
- Cut slowly and take your time.
- When scoring, use a ruler for cleaner folds.
- Keep your hands clean so as not to smudge the models. Be especially careful of glue.
- Use as little glue as possible so the paper doesn't warp.
