Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago.

Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away”

I had some leftover watercolor paper and I wanted to do something kind of mindless. Filling up a page in my sketchbook. #watercolor #collage

Coral and Mike are playing TMNT on the switch right now. Happy Father’s Day to all those millennial dads who are passing down their nerdy ways to the next generation. #fathersday

Saw a Vietnam veteran holding a sign today that read “no military parades for draft dodgers”.

My worry-wart mom called me today to give me some advice about going to the protest. “Make sure to wear your sunscreen!” I love my mom!

I did it! I competed an entire 36 page picture book in watercolor! My first time doing a book with traditional media. It was a slog, but I am much happier with how it turned out. I’m going to be showing more of the process and final art soon!

If you’re not inserting yourself or friends/family members/pets into your illustrations, are you even making art at all? In all seriousness, we illustrators need to have some cheeky fun in our books once in a while. Any guesses as to who these fairies are? #illustration #kidlitart #fairies

I’m really hoping someone at church today says, “May the Force be with you,” so I can say, “and also with you”. #starwars #starwarsday #maythefourth #lutheran #elca
