I am pleased to announce that I have been named Faculty Emeritus at School of Visual Arts. After teaching for almost 25 years at SVA, I am retiring. I will miss teaching, and am grateful for the many wonderful students I had over the years.

When I was in 4th grade, my teacher called my mom in for a conference because I was reading too many Star Wars books during reading time and she was “concerned.” My mom said, “At least he’s reading!” and backed me all the way. 30 years later, I made a Star Wars show. God-tier parenting. Thanks, Mom!

What famous author used to own this blanket box, now at Peel museum?
As much as Lucy Maud Montgomery is associated with Prince Edward Island, she is also part of Norval.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.
We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.
