Speaking Of Cancun....

In my last post, I mentioned how I would love to be back on the beach in Cancun, Mexico (I went there last year with Armani). The above photo was taken from our room. It really was a beautiful place to visit. We had an awesome time :))

About Dust Specks

Don’t look now, but Dust Specks are EVERYWHERE! Dust Specks is a cartoon that revolves around five characters, made of dust, and their interactions with each other and everything in the world (they truly get around). The main cast is Dusty, Storm, Bunny, Bitsy, and Micro. Other characters include Dust Mites (the villains), Dirt (the thugs), Sand (cowabunga, dude!), Geez, and Cosmo.

The concept of Dust Specks materialized when I noticed some dust on my nightstand one afternoon. For whatever reason, the thought of a cartoon ran through my mind and within minutes, I wrote my first strip.

The biggest challenge I faced from the start was the inability to draw. Instead of throwing in the towel, I began utilizing artists in my area to prepare the illustrations for me. In the end, I connected wth Terrice Kimble and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for stopping by. Your continued support and kind e-mails are always appreciated.

Dust Specks - A Children's Book

I completed a manuscript for a book that revolves around the Dust Speck's cast. The book is called "A Message from Dust Specks - You are Special" and is about a young girl named Lisa who was teased at school. To help Lisa snap out of her sad mood, the cast lowers Storm (by rope with megaphone in hand) close to Lisa's ear to speak uplifting and empowering words to her. The story delivers a positive message with a touch of humor that children are sure to enjoy. Like to learn more? Drop me a note. I would love to hear from you.
