Boy, three weeks goes by fast! Took some time out to take advantage of the nice weather to get some things done around the house. We also had a party for my daughter, and just taking a break to reflect on things. I have been sketching a few odd things, but not much. The drawing above was to be my entry in the recent SCBWI illustrator contest, but time was not available. I actually did this today, based on a thumbnail I created when I learned of the contest. I plan to refine and color it over the next week or so. I also did a couple sketches for the IF "packed" from 2 weeks ago. Plan to finish that as well.
One thing I have always been interested in is creating a comic strip. I picked up The Calvin & Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book at the library the other day, and have found it to be very informative and inspirational. (Calvin & Hobbes was always one of my favorites.) I have sort of an idea, it is just a matter of taking the time to get something down on paper. Just a matter of deciding what to put off to do that! :P

I love comics too. It is always fun to play with new things Tom. I hope you do get to experiment and shear with us :o)
Hi Tom, thanks for the comment you left on my blog. I can really see your style working for comics. Finding time for everything is extremely hard. Good luck with your idea. I hope you get it all pulled together

Soooo adorable! I remember being that little girl, a looooooooooog time ago, hee hee. I hope you keep going with it, it's a great start. Would love to see it all gussied up and finished.
I know what you mean about the dream of having a strip and how much of an inspiration Bill Watterson is! I also used to adore Bloom County by Berkley Breathed. He also ended up creating some children's book as well. Both those guys inspired me a great deal.
