It’s #WorldRatDay! When real life rats abound we've reason to curse worse than "RATS!" Here’s Horace from PARTY ANIMALS by @taralazar.bsky.social & the gang from WORLD RAT DAY by J. Patrick Lewis. Wishing you best wishes avoiding—as Pat would say, “the wrong-doer in the soer.”

Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking my “Zine Workshop” to the Society of Illustrators as part of their Winter Art Academy, and helped a great group of NYC kids build their own 8-page, illustrated stories. So. Much. Fun! Thanks, @soi128.bsky.social! 😍📚

Happy 2025 from me, with a little help from all the coffee sleeves, stickers, felt and styrofoam scraps, and googly eyes I've collected in my studio. I knew I saved them for a reason. #kidlit #Illustration #animation #stopmotion #aftereffects #happyholidays
