If you’re yearning to be the teller of spellbinding stories, or maybe just keep people from hitting the tents too early, here’s how to deliver a campfire tale that will become a legend of its own.

Make It Personal - Use Story Structure 101 - Set the Scene - Create the Mood - Focus on Pacing - Show, Don’t Tell - Leave Room for Imagination - Practice Your Delivery - Don’t Confuse Talking with Storytelling


This is a valuable skill I dearly wish to posses, alas. Being a listener to a good storyteller is highly enjoyable so I hope this skill and tradition live on with more force. Passive storytelling through media is well and good but live storeytelling captures you in a different way. Look at children how engrossed they get when listening to a story through a storyteller (grandma?) versus looking at a story on the screen.

How to Tell a Great Campfire Story

Two older drawings from February 2020. Just for fun and so they would not be forgotten and buried under the heavy weight of all the other things I have made.

As my old Disapora pod which hosted this free culture project got closed I am posting my art here. You can see it using the #katharsisdrill and #darkkatharsisdrill tags.

Why is it that the right, the extreme right, owns the streets and not the left? It’s not like #Europe, where in a lot of countries youth #activism is quiescent or on decline. There are millions of #people like [my 18-year-old son], but who’s telling him where to go to #fight or what to do?
