Quick head designs from the sketchbook.

I currently have about 8 weeks buffer on finished strips. I have been using this buffer to wrestle this site into something that I think will work for me. I’m in the home stretch regarding the website and that’s exciting. It’s exciting because that means it’s time to head back to the drawing board. The real one.

When I started this strip I just wanted to get something down. I wanted to see if I could make it work. I was not overly concerned that everything was perfect – and it shows. Honestly, Love Sick could be drawn better and today I pledge to take this to the next level by changing that. I don’t think everything will be perfect – but it is going to be better. Expect to see some characters evolve graphically starting early next year. That sounds like a long time away uh? It’ll be here quicker than you think.

Additionally, I’ll be changing the format. I’ll be moving from a traditional strip format into something that I think will work better both for the strip and it’s potential. What I mean by that is that the new format will allow for better story telling, interesting layouts, better design and should translate into a variety of formats, including mobile devices better. This comic this is on the web – why not embrace this freedom?

So between now and the end of the year you can expect to get a few previews of the progress of these evolutions. I hope you are enjoying it so far. Let me know!

And absolutely make sure you read the Google Chrome Comic by Scott McCloud – just so you know how it works of course.

Google also released Chrome for Linux and Extensions for Windows and Linux (in beta). More details on the Google Blog.
