Popped Your Bubble
April 3, 2009 at 6:33 pm - Off
So, I deleted that annoying comment preview bubble. It’s become clear to me that the negativity of everyday anonymous dickfaces is an irritation to people who are actually fans of this comic. The design for that bubble never really worked and more often than not it served to showcase the thoughtless negativity of the internet subculture. And that shit’s just depressing.
Also, big thanks to my friend Joseph for having the idea that was the basis for the current comic.

I know a lot of you are wondering if there’s ever going to be a comic again. And I assure you, there will be. Eventually. But if you’re tired of constantly checking the site to see if there’s been an update, I highly recommend subscribing to the rss feed.
I spend quite a bit of time last month getting myself acclimated to the new Photoshop CS4. After using Sketchbook Pro for more than two years, it took some relearning. I think that the quality of the artwork is going to benefit considerably, however. For those that are interested, here’s a little character design in progress for the new project I mentioned in the last post:
And yes, that’s supposed to look a bit like Donald Trump’s toupee…

Thanks for all the comments to my previous news. I really enjoyed reading them and truly appreciate your support and understanding.
I said I’d post something about the direction this comic will be taking in the future…
For now, updates will continue to be made to TBK, they just won’t be very frequent. Hopefully I’ll get one out every month. The reason for this is that Eric and I have a somewhat serious, character driven scifi yarn that we want to tackle. I don’t want to talk about it too much right now because it’s still in developmental stages, existing as little more than a rough outline and some sketches. This will end up sapping a lot of time from the drawing of this comic, unfortunately, but we hope that a lot of you will find the new project just as interesting. More on this soon.
And that’s it for news posts for a while. Next time I post something here, it will be a comic. Promise.

What I’ve been up to…

Hey there everyone. Later tonight or tomorrow I’ll talk about the direction this site is going to be taking in the future, but this news post is going to be about me. I don’t go into my personal life much but I’ve been away for a long while and wanted to let everyone know why.
For the latter part of December I was visiting an uncharacteristically wintry Oregon to spend Christmas with my girlfriend and her family. I got to see lots of grazing sheep, hang out in Portland, drink some delicious Shakespeare Stout at the Rogue Brewery and freeze my toes off during a stroll on the Newport coast. It was a good time despite the naughty weather and I’m hoping to return there in the summer.
When we got back home to Kansas we had to pack up and relocate from my hometown, Emporia, KS, to Overland Park, KS. We’ve been neck deep in boxes for most of January. Only today did we finally get functioning internet service. The move was for a few reasons. First, Emporia is a lovely little town but Ariel and I wanted to live somewhere with more options (also, we had to be somewhere that we could go out for good Indian food). Secondly, I’ve decided I want to go back to school, and this dip in the economy seems like a good time to try to further my education.
Finally, there is another really important bit of news.
In about four months and some change, I’m going to become the father of a little baby boy. These past months my emotional makeup has been a kalidescope of love, fear, awe, joy, and worry. I’m excited about bringing life into this world and I’m determined to do my best not to screw him up too much.
