I DIG DUG vs. The Creative Slump...
Well...what can I say? I've completed my masters degree this summer which has kept me from sitting down and doing a lot of new strips. And now that I'm ready to do new strips, I just don't know what to write about. I've been doing I DIG DUG now for over ten years and...well...it just doesn't seem relevant anymorew. The 'joke' that these three characters never leave college has soured on me. I'm at a loss, and I've hit a creative slump.

I am in the process of supplying the Hometown Connection with enough old strips to finish out the year. I am also writing a 'finale' story to I DIG DUG where Dug, Matt, and Carrie do graduate, which will see print in January and February. Then...I don't know. And because I can't figure out where to take the characters next, I've decided to break away from those characters for awhile.

So it's time to start exploring the "comics" title in "I Dig Dug Comics", because to me, I've always wanted to branch out a little. So in February of next year I'll be debuting "Trapped on Earth" featuring some little alien dudes that I created. Hopefully it'll be fun and enjoyable. I'm starting to get some ideas together for what these characters will be doing on Earth and how they'll interact with people and animals and bugs. Plus....there is a story here. It's full of adventure and exploration and action...and there's a little twinge of a love story as well. Should be fun.

So in the weeks to come you'll see some of my favorite 'repeats' to finish out the year, in addition to some other artwork that I've been working on this year through my class at OSU and my submission portfolio for DC Comics. It's time to get the 'ol blog moving again. And...if you're interested...you may just be able to follow me on Twitter as well. Once I get that all worked out.

Well...I can't post comics into my Blog site using Hello with Bloggerbot anymore. I don't know why...but for some reason it must have been TOO easy, so now I have to figure out the new way to get my pictures onto my blog site. SO...until then...no I DIG DUG comics. Boo-hoo... I'll wrap my head around it sometime this weekend and get it all figured out. At least...that's the plan.
