You likely still know NOTHING about my new series SASHIMI coming April 2026 which has just been made a @JrLibraryGuild GOLD STANDARD BOOK. That's good. That's when all your kids are like, "WHAT'S THIS DUMB BOO-" and then they're hooked. You've been warned. ❤️ #SASHIMI @mackidsbooks.bsky.social

Youngest son got tickets to Kendrick Lamar and Sza last night. The online tickets they bought were fakes and we went back to the ticket broker online three hours before the show. They instantly upgraded him and his girlfriend to sixth row at no extra cost. This was their view. ❤️

I'm drawing my fan art version of Porco Rosso. It's to honor the person and the place that inspired me to do what I do today. This "AI homage" to Hayao Miyazaki is the last thing in the world he would want to see. It's the equivalent to saying "What you do isn't very special."

It’s been years since I’ve done this but if there’s one thing I think everyone should try at least once in their lives it would be to draw your own self portrait from life. You’ll appreciate every wrinkle, every blemish, and every little contour on your face and realize how unique you truly are ❤️
