The Paris Patent Office
We are back with Chapter 2! Thanks for holding in there during the delay. I've got a lot scripted out, so now it's just a matter of finding the time to draw the strips. I hope not to miss any updates, but things are a bit busy for me right now, so cross your fingers! Enjoy!
Chapter 2 set to begin with new look
20th January | 2010
Chapter 2 will begin in a couple short weeks. I've been busy slightly revising the characters, the look of the strip, and writing a bunch of scripts. Stay tuned!
Ladies and Gentlemen - Pinkleton is back!
28th September | 2009
Welcome to the new weekly comic. Thanks for stopping by!
A little history..
I created Byron Pinkleton in 2007 for a number of long form strips that appeared on the now defunct International History Club website that I created along with KC Green and Chris VanGomple. Over the last couple of years I've created a few additional long form strips and archived them here. While I love the long format strips, they are time consuming to produce and I wanted to give Pinkleton a regularly updating strip - hence the new, smaller, sleeker 1-tier format.
On the process..
You will notice this strip has a sketchy and loose look to it. This is intentional. With all of the inking I do on Snowflakes, this strip and it's more relaxed execution provide a nice change of pace. As with Grumps, the artwork for Pinkleton is done with pencils and not inked. I really enjoy working with this technique for it's Spontaneity, not to mention it's quickness. The style artwork on this strip may change over time as I experiment a bit with my technique.
Going forward..
The fact that I am able to produce this strip relatively quickly enables me to update once a week here in addition to 3 times a week on Snowflakes. I have a very finely tuned schedule that allows me to produce all of this work, in addition to all my other real-worldly responsibilities! I'm walking a razor wire here folks - if even the slightest thing falls out of place, my whole schedule will come crashing down like a house of cards!!! Otherwise, You can expect a new strip every Monday.
A word on Grumps..
I ended Grumps in 2008. I absolutely loved working on that comic, but at the time it was right to end it. I had told the story I wanted to tell, and was satisfied with ending the strip. But know this: I do have a sequel to Grumps running around in my head. It's been there a long time. I know the story and one day it will be told. But not now. Now is the era of Pinkleton, and I have many stories to tell...
