The second strip is here, and in my humblest of opinions, is much better than the first. I made some changes in sketchin' my skeeters. I shifted those extra arms down to where their legs are and slimmed down their beaks. Also, I pencilled everything in first before adding ink this time around. I'm sure they'll evolve some more before it's all said and done. I'm pretty rusty when it comes to drawing. I used to sketch a lot when I was younger. I had a regular comic strip in the school newspaper when I was in high school and designed the yearbook cover my senior year. That was 12 years ago though, and then my interests turned mostly to television and film production (which is the route I pursued in college and work). Every once in a while, I've pulled out the notebook or sketchpad and scrawled some ideas, but for the most part, I've really just let that talent go undeveloped. In the last couple years, I've had a lot of friends and family ask me about my drawing, and they've encouraged me to pick up the pen again. So, let's see if I've got anything in me to say or create. Stay tuned for more!

West siiiide!
