I love trees and love drawing them even more! Bears' journey is just beginning but he seems to know his destination. You'll have to wait for the book to learn more!

One of my favorite Hollywood stories is Pigeon: Impossible's weird path from indie short to major Disney release.

A Fox producer was trying to make his mark and find IP to adapt. He saw a fun short about a bird trying to steal a bagel and getting stuck in the nuclear football. He had to have it.
