Hey ho.

Finally colored the last “SM” comic. Instead of inking teh way I normally do, I decided to see how a “sketchy” type of thing would look. Not real happy with it. Took longer to color and just isn’t my thing. So I’m going back to the old way of doing things.

It’s been really hard for me to pick the “pen” back up to work on Suspicious Minds lately. Not sure why. While I have had a few things in my personal life that needed my full attention, that has largely pasted and now I only need to monitor that situation from a distance. Vague enough for you?

My son’s diabetes seems to be under control. Or at least as much as Type 1 can be. There are still times it throws us for a bit of a loop. We are starting to have a decent routine and getting back to normal again. Over all he is just super. I’ll try not to mention it much anymore here on the comic. Just on my Blog. So I’ll save you the drama.

I am planning on really trying to dedicate myself to finishing up this incredibly long story as quickly as possible. After that, I’m going to look at “SM” a little more objectively as a project. We’ll see where that goes.

So what have I been doing? Good question. While I haven’t been working on “SM” I have managed to re-energize by doing some non-suspicious mInds stuff. A quick little cartoon for my Eyeskream buddy Pavel. He draws the webcomic Future Pig.

And I also entered the Eyeskream Contest… “Origin of Skreamie”. I lost for two reasons… mine sucked and the competition was incredible! I love losing to really GREAT stuff. You can view the entries HERE. Congrats to Lou and Mike Rosen

So what did I do? I did a little 6 pager retro horror comic. (I’ll post it in the on the site later. You’ll find it in the “Other Projects” section on the right sidebar at the bottom.)

Also… last but not least. Eyeskream has voted in more members! Woo! I’m really tickled because all the ones that got in I was really rooting for! So what have we got?  We got three new members. They are:

• Silverage - By Charlie Gavin
• Not Enough BBQ - By Shania Lu
• Zyn Dweomer - By J.V. West

So hurry… check ‘em out and say hello to them in our forum. Quick… before they become insanely popular and you won’t be able to say you knew them before they stopped returning your emails and filed that restraining order.

That’s it from this side of things guys. Hang in, hang tight, and hang on.

-Mike
