Inspired by recent events and my love of #KidLit I am organizing protests in front of bookstores across the nation to call for more awesome books about royal characters! Who is with me!?! #drseuss #sendak @BenHatke #thelittleprince #kingarthur

Playing around with an idea for another alphabet book I've wanted to do for some time. Also because alphabet books are easy to write as they are already 75% written for you, e.g. "A is for ___" Can you guess which letters these are for? #amdoodling #kidlit

Apparently it has been two years since I published A Child's Treasury of Four-Letter Words, which seems about right for an indolent hack such as myself. However, I did just publish The ABCs of Total World Domination, which puts a lie to the indolent part for a bit, I guess.

The latest #MulberryAndBliss mini picture book has arrived! Saving most for the #PhillyComicsExpo in Oct., but some might show up in local independent bookstores soon. Drop me a line if you want one. Special thanks to @fireland and @sbritt_doodles for providing blurbs. #ampublishing #picturebook

I found this #RoyLichtenstein alphabet book at a resale shop and I thought all my illustrator friends would be happy to know that Roy was sh*t at drawing horses, too.

I don't know what all the fuss is about AI. It is just a tool. It has definitely helped me become more organized. Most recently it helped me get all my ducks in a row boat. #AIJokes

I fixed the "There's one in every crowd" penguins so you can see the angry one better. Not that anyone was asking for that.

You might think this is a puffer fish but its green color tells us that it is in fact a Bloat Alien that inflates and quickly rolls away when frightened. #amdoodling #aliens

I'm guessing someone's had this idea before but I thought it and decided to doodle it up in the style of wearepretendfriends.com because I love their work. You should follow them if you don't already. #amdoodling #adobeillustrator

There's still time to get your copy of the Jockey Club punk rock flyer compilation "It's A Freak Show Ace!" from Aurore Press! Not sure how MS got our pic on the first page but I'm not complaining! aurore-press.square.site

Squidboy originated in MacPaint as the mascot of my newsletter, The Squid Report. MacPaint was the best, but Dark Castle certainly gave it a run for its money.

Sometimes I just like to doodle the dumbest things I can think of based on Internet memes, so with that in mind, I present to you, Le Nœud Papillon Steve and Le Haricot Rouge Steve. #amdoodling #procreate #lepoissonsteve

I started doodling random letters in #procreate and ended up designing a fake bubble gum logo. King Supa says Supa Dupa Bubble Gum is the Supaee Dupaeeist! Chew Some Today! #amdoodling #bubblegum

Everyone seems to be posting bunnies so here's a bunny late to the Happy Easter wishes game. This guy is a reject from my mini picture book Birb Goes Twerp because I couldn't think of a funny enough alternative name for a rabbit or what sound he would make. #procreate #amdoodling #olddoodle

I think I just invented Breakfast Soup with this logo doodle I created in #procreate, #adobeIllustrator, and #adobephotoshop. Not sure yet if this is for a brand of breakfast soup or maybe for a breakfast soup cafe. The word 'Soup' is custom type. 'Sunrise' is a font called Spicy Rice. #amdoodling
