I was on the phone dialling for dollars at a call centre, like every day, and caught myself staring at the clock. I became aware of time passing in a way I never had before, realized that the path I was on did not lead to where I always said I was going with my life. I became filled with a sense of urgency that I had lost time to make up for. I instantly made a decision to put into practice the principles I had been absorbing from a collection of books that I still reference to this day, and stopped showing up to work to dedicate my Life to my Art.

With No money and No Education, before I even had a smartphone or an internet connection of my own, I started writing and drawing my own comic books, printing them on a self-serve photocopier at Staples, and selling them to strangers on the street. That was how I earned a living for three years.

A series of release events for each new Comic Book issue morphed into an underground film series where I screened short parody movies about my adventures as a galavanting street artist, featuring musical guests and my own performances. These events got me invited to join the cast of “Ed’s Night Party”, a top rated light night TV show in Canada, as the on-air Master of Ceremonies.  I was with that show for the last two years of it's run, and then began experimenting with online video.

For two years I tried uploading everything from vlogs to music videos to comedy sketches, barely squeaking out a living. A Batman prank video I made went viral and became a worldwide media sensation.  For the rest of that year I tried a bunch of different things but the Videos that were informed by my love of Superheroes and Comic Books were the Successful ones. 

After another year of dedicating myself full-time to developing my YouTube channel long before I could afford to live that way,  I made the decision to start publishing weekly.  Today The Sean Ward Show is the #1 most-watched cosplay comedy channel on YouTube with over 4 million subscribers and 2 billion video views!
