I'm Going To Costa Rica! (Updated 3/12/20...See Below)

I mentioned in an earlier post that the owner of the firm where I work bought a condo in Costa Rica and said I can vacation there. Well, the time has come! In March, I'm going there for some fun in the sun 🌞 Maybe the trip will inspire me to write more cartoons. I can't wait! 3/12/20 Update. Trip Cancelled 😞 Will go once Covid subsides 😷

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!), Teenie (Bity's best friend), 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. -Tom
