Weekend update

What's up? It was a an interesting weekend of relaxing and chillin. Now I'm at work. Haven't started thinking about my cartoons yet, which is really bad. I'll prolly start drawing tomorrow, but there are other issues to deal with in my life. Im not feeling really motivated at the moment, but I'm sure that'll all change once I sit at my drafting table. That's it for now.

Question answered

Just heard by from my new editor. Apparently there was some mix up with the folks who run the website. All is well for "Cafe con Leche." Thanks for all the support.

Something's fishy

Got some emails from some readers (thank you all) about "Cafe con Leche" not being updated on the Creators Syndicate site. I did a little investigation and found that nothing has been up since Monday. I'm sure it's a glitch, but I did fire off an email to my new editor there. We'll see what happens. Would want to be the last one to know that I got dropped. That would truly suck.

Back in the saddle

I finally decide to get off my butt and do a little blogging. Sorry about the very very long delay, but I had some personal drama to deal with. Things seem better now and I'm pretty focused. Things are actually going well at my job too. Kind of an unexpected surprise, but I'll take it.
Anyways, sorry folks (both of you).

Time for a book

I've been contemplating putting together a Cafe con Leche book. The problem is that its going to be difficult finding the time to do this. With two cartoons, a full-time job and school I'm finding things a bit stressful. But CCL has been in publication for 2 years now and I think that it has sort of a cult following. Now if I could only find a publisher.

Changes to Cafe con Leche

As some of you may already know by now, My strip "Cafe con Leche" has gone through some substantial changes. At first the focus was on lead characters Maria and Trey and their relationship. Now I'm focusing squarely on Trey. Narrowing my focus gives me more flexibility and it seems to be working. Now all story lines run through Trey, including his relationship with Maria, his cousin Ray-Ray and his mother.
The writing in the comic strip has also changed. I used to lean on the safe side but now things are more cutting edge. I'm trying to push the envelope and also make it more authentic. Most of the experiences that you'll see Trey going through come from personal knowledge. With a little ad-libbing on my part.

My afternoon

Sitting here at Busboys and Poets having a cup of coffee and thinking about cartoons. I'm starting to have more success with Cafe con Leche and I'm glad. A large media group in Canada just bought the strip, so the pressure is on to produce.
