And The Winner Of The Cartoon Drawing Is......

......Cindy from Riverside, California! Roughly seventy five entries were put in a hat and Cindy's was the one drawn! Cindy has a funny idea as to where she would like to see the Dust Specks characters. Now the fun part. I will come up with a cartoon based on Cindy's idea and have my artists draw and color the strip. There are two cartoons currently being worked on, so Cindy's idea should be posted by the end of the month. Thanks for all your entries which were hilarious! Someone actually wanted to see Dusty on Hillary Clinton's butt...yuck! Anyway, congratulations, Cindy!! You rock!

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
