Bad Idea Abandoned!



I’m constantly critiquing my own work. After all you are your own worse critic. But I abandoned this strip after half-assing the art and realizing the punch line was too lame a payoff. So warts and all, here goes what could’ve been this weeks strip.

In other news I'm a little sick and this prescription is making me sleepy.

Lazy?

Repeating images in comics is somewhat frowned up; it's considered bad form. Repeating images in comics is somewhat frowned up; it's considered bad form.

Yeah, so what! Now I do agree that repeating images is somewhat bad form, but it is definitely a time saver. So when you see it happen, like in this week's comics, just know I only do it out of necessity. What necessity, you say... sleep!

Derk doin' Work



Found this going through the desktop, been meaning to post it for a while. I know I always like to see the workspace of cartoonist. Now just a lil' FYI my desk isn't that messy now--that was pre-move art table. Post-move art table is a lil, empty since I've been drawing on a portable drawing board more. But just a lil pic for the voyeurs.

Now there's always something new going on with ColoredComics.com, new ideas or new comics--like Random Acts. I've come to discover or at least I'm now more conscious of the fact I come up with ideas faster than I can produce them. As such, its best not to talk anything up too much until its close to finished. All that being said, I plan to finish up loose ends on the website by summer's end. Like the about pages, and character pages, and possibly debuting Colored Comics Presents (whoa, anybody remember that?) all being finished up.

Thanks again for continued readership (on the comic, not the blog, cuz well it's rarely updated so I doubt many of you read it)!
