Hi #kidlitartpostcard! ✌️

I’m just an author and illustrator standing here with a book dummy. I love telling weird, humorous stories, often with a nonfiction element.

Thanks to the Space Foundation Discovery Center for having me out today to read Ray’s Big Day! Presenting my art on the Science on a Sphere has been a longtime goal.

Recently, I was thinking about selling my copy of The Noble Approach. Out of print copies are going for $400! But after flipping through it today, Maurice Noble’s art theory inside is worth far more!! Dear @chroniclebooks.bsky.social, I believe it’s time for a reprint!

My side of the Little Golden Book swap with my friend Shane Clester. Thanks, bub!

As I color another graphic novel, I realize how much Maurice Nobel influenced me as a child. He was a master of color! I didn't know I was going to school whenever I watched one of his Looney Tunes cartoons.

Great finds! Were you out antiquing again? How many pages are in the Color Kittens book? I have an A edition and it should have a house after the title page. And these illustrations that were cut when the book went from 28 pages down to 24.

Time for a Monster Mash on Halloween! From my Little Golden Book, LEGO How to Be a Ghost, published earlier this year. It’s my favorite page I illustrated from the book!

My friend @michaelbyers.bsky.social gave a great Kaleidoscope presentation at Icon conference about just going for it with your sketchbook. So I’m going to share my messy sketchbook. F perfection! We can all relate to the mess before final art.

Thanks for a fun and refreshing time, Icon, the Illustration Conference! It was great time with friends and meeting new ones. This ICON was a bit different. I had a table in the Roadshow and I gave a Kaleidoscope talk. It’s exactly what I needed to reenergize my creativity.

Until next time!

Ray’s Big Day is now available! This is my debut picture book as author/illustrator. There’s so much nerdy space and science packed into this story. It’s the type of book I wished I had as a kid.
