Much Needed Redesign...

This Sunday I will put up the new title head and backgrounds for this page, make it more "Comic". IT just looks too blah and generic for me.

010: Comfortably Dumb

This is the first of the new, new strips that will be going up. all of the strips before this had been previously posted on my Inkworks blog, before being taken down and moved here.

So this is the point that it gets real for me, I have a couple more strips in the pipe, but lost my 5-6 strip "lead" due to life circumstances that always get in the way of this kind of work. We'll see how I do. If I can keep this up a couple months with the weekly update, then I'll try to go biweekly. But we'll see. No illusions.

001: The Begining



I am reposting the first 8 strips before adding new stuff here to the dedicated Sleight of Mind blog page. I will be keeping the update schedule at weekly on Thursdays, so check back here next week for the next strip.

A bit of background: I have wanted to work on a comic strip for years, starting "Stinky and Tom" in Highschool, and adding Boom to the line up in Art school. I never really had the discipline to keep up with something as demanding as a weekly strip, and realized that while in Montana, where I submitted my strip idea to my hometown newspaper, the Enterprise in Livingston. A friend of Mine Kenny Puckett had been working with me on this project and we put together lots of ideas and half done comic bits, as well as a Simple comic. Simple being the original title of the Comic when we were trying to make it into a mini pamphlet comic. Through the years we redefined the characters, hoping to make them more mainstream, which just took the fun out of the characters and  loimited our ability to write them as we knew them. This version of their illustrated lives however is back to the core of the characters, whether anyone likes them or not.

Many years later, and a few careers in between I am going back to my roots, and my true passion for making comics, and especially a comic strip. And have been able to produce enough strips to get some momentum going as well as a lead on my publishing schedule.

Thank you for reading! And I promise, additional essays such as this one will be kept to a minimum. I want this blog page to be focused on the comic. if you wnat to know more of what I am doing, then please check out my Inkworks blog. Thanks again!

The Beginning of something new!

This is it. where I will be posting the Sleight of Mind Strips from now on. I will start with all of the old ones, and work my way to current so if there is anyone that is actually been reading this strip since the beginning (yeah, right) you're just going to have to bear with me as I get a good lead on what I am doing.

Please be patient with me as I get this blog all sorted out, and ready for the strip.

Boom. My main Character. and you may copy this wallpaper for free!


I will also be working  out an archive of sorts to show the 15+ years of half ass work I have on these characters and stories.

Thank you all! and I hope you enjoy the strip!
