Patchwork
Info

This comic is a collaboration between a writer and an artist, who each weren't capable of creating an online comic on their own. Considering that it took 12 days from the first time we talked about it until the webpage with the first comic page went online, we both were obviously very interested XD

Matt Summers

Came up with the original idea and writes the story.

in his own words:
Well, I've been writing since I was about twelve, but have only been seriously writing for about two and a half years. Married, with child, two cats (whom you see in their humanoid personas thanks to Anke's wonderful artwork) and living happily. I juggle many, many projects at once, including writing for the comic... I'm the head Moderator for Wyvern's Library for Elfwood... I've completed one book so far and have four others in the works... basically, I write a LOT. And, as poor Anke found out, it's dangerous to float ideas near me, because I WILL grab them and run with them. And the end result of one of those ideas you see flowering before you. :D
And if you'd like to read some of my other writings, visit my Elfwood page.

Anke Wehner

I draw, occasionally make suggestions and take care of the webpage.
I started drawing in '99, by copying pictures out of my Elfquest comics, rather quickly moving on to drawing a bit more original stuff. My only schooling in art are the compulsory classes I had at school, 'how to draw' books I'm generally too lazy to use and, well, reading manga and online comics.
I live in Germany, so if you think I update at weird times of day that might be the reason.
