Hello! I am trying out this platform - hoping to connect with other illustrators and writers and creatives without supporting megalomaniacs. I make books and draw and read a lot. Here is piece of something I've been working on recently. Thanks!
This Saturday I will be in Brooklyn reading and signing books for Indie Bookstore Day @ Books are Magic. Hope you can make it out!

This is Worm. Worm likes books. Worm likes quiet. Worm does not like to be interrupted! Worm is one half of EARL AND WORM - my new series for early readers that launches two weeks from today! ✌️👋🪱🦉😎

Today I did not go to the studio. I visited an elementary school in the Philly burbs and read to kids aged K-6th grade. This photo was taken by a 2nd grader 🙂

I visited two different elementary schools today and had such a blast. Reading with kids and talking about writing, drawing, and making stuff - it’s the best.

Today I visited @bookpeople.bsky.social in Austin, TX and signed some books. An amazing indie book store! Much, much better than Amazon.

I am traveling today so my studio is an airport and my workspace is a sketchbook. Making tiny doodles and coming up with ideas for something new.

Not at the studio today, just spending time with family. We went to the library and saw one of our favorites - No Fits, Nilson! by Zach Ohora. A beautiful, funny book.
