Artist / Author / Dog Dad.

When I'm not crafting stories or art, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our doggies, who inspired my children’s picture book series, The Everyday Adventures of Papa & Paws®.

I had fun chatting with new friends Amy and Sam at Kids Ask, Authors Answer recently about Papa Paws® Doggie Detectives. They just surprised me with a page that has the interview, lesson plans, activities and more! buff.ly/t2x5v86 #childrenspicturebook #dogdad

Marley likes to sit by Timmy the Squirrel's tree and wait for him to come over and play.

Happy Book Birthday to Santa's Fuzzy LIttle Visit! It's Christmas Eve at the Paws house, and Molly and her sisters are on a very special mission – to catch a glimpse of Santa himself!

Happy seventh birthday to our Macy! My sweet little snugglebug who is our fiercest protector, saving us from the birds, lightning bugs, bad dreams, and other dangers!

We are sad to say that today Molly Paws left us to go play on the Rainbow Bridge with her sisters Harley, Gracie, Miss Mia, and her beloved Zozo.She was a sweet girl who loved her evening chippie (treat), our real-life Papa Paws adventures to get pizza or get a curbside pickup, and walkies.

Happy Book Birthday to Brave Little Gracie! I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since she passed to the Rainbow Bridge and I first had the notion to tell her story.

WOW! I can't believe it's been five whole years since we first published "Molly Waits Her Turn". My family and I are so thankful to everyone who has supported us along the way.

THANK YOU!

Fuzzy wuzzy no more! Marley, Macy, and Molly all got spring haircuts!

And our 17.7 year old Molly Paws has decided to change her hair color from gold to black to match her sisters. 🤣 🐶

Rounding out my self-taught #kawaii illustration with girl in a kimono and a painter. Thank you, Ilaria Ranaruo for making your awesome book, Kawaii Cuties! It's been a great help for me to learn the style better.

Still working out the wings on my updated Dream Pig illustration. Did this back in the 2010s in a different style but am thinking it would be a great #kawaii illo . #art #drawing
