With 30 minutes remaining on our campaign for LET’s GO!

We raised 277% of our initial goal thanks to 245 backers. Who help us to donate 29 copies of this graphic novel anthology to vulnerable children around the world.

I wonder if we can round it to 30 copies in 30 minutes 🤔

Graphic that reads - We feel so strongly about the power of story, that instead of raising funds to pay the creators, we're donating our many hours to do something we think will make the world a little better. One way we're hoping to share that mission is by inviting you to help us fund copies of our anthologies that will go to organizations we've partnered with. Each of these organizations serve vulnerable youth in the US or abroad, and are connected to a member of our KCU community, which makes this a personal mission and one small way to use our talents to give back.

speaking of subway campaigns here's that strange time in 2016 when someone hired legendary but regrettably under-celebrated cartoonist Mark Alan Stamaty to do a subway wrap on the Grand Central-Times Square shuttle

Did you know that wolves love blueberries? I discovered research for my Wolf's Lala book, they are a staple food of grey wolves that were placed on preserve islands in Western Oregon region. googled and first video that comes up is a different wild wolf entirely. youtu.be/0-QzCFs6-SY?...
Picture book spread with 3 illustrations: a wolf cub finds a baby, they eat blueberries together, they roll playfully in the grass the baby laughs.

Main characters from my picture book passion project. This is the one that I love most of all my many WIP PB's - set aside to work on my first GN project. I think I'd like to expand this PB story into a GN too. My GN is all laid out, so time to write more chapters for this one.
A color illustration of a young grey wolf curled up, tongue out, eyes closed, a big smile on his face, as a little girl with loose curls, tan skin hugs his head. They are both about 2-3 years age. She looks up eyes open, smiling.

Jumped on here with no plan of a share, but here's an illustration I did awhile back.
An illustration showing a group of diverse children in interactive play on outdoor equipment. A boy with prosthetic legs swings on bars, another boy climbs the ladder. One boy reads - a bird looks over his shoulder, a girl slides, a baby crawls a young boy and a girl are delighted by butterflies and birds.
