Hey friends, I have some availability for book and/or script projects. I specialise in whimsical, comedic work with a fantastical bent.

If you'd like to work with me, feel free to drop me a line or ping my agent (Joanna Rasheed at Ultra Literary).

What is something that is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Illustration pay has not kept up with inflation. We get paid approximately the same dollar amount as an illustrator in the early 2000s. Some of the big companies are the worst for this.

That it exists. Teachers need plans and lessons. They already work full weeks teaching, grading, adjusting lessons, meeting etc. We help with time and also a broader range of knowledge than any one teacher could have.

It is good and proper in a well-kept library to dispose of books.

Almost all of the bugs and problems and breakage in the software you use is known to the engineers, we just aren't allowed to fix it. Gotta ship new features.

New illustration for Experience Life about the Vagus Nerve but also a great reminder to take care of your mental space, recharge and keep the bad stuff away.

Taking care of your teachers IS taking care of your students & I wish more school leaders acknowledged this with intentionality. Broken burned out teachers will never be at the center of any thriving school community. #edusky

Remembering a band from 15 years ago that you haven't kept up with, finding out that they still release albums, and each album still being a banger is such a wonderful feeling.

Wow! Just watched S6 E13 of Deep Space Nine, Far Beyond the Stars. It’s a tour de force from all involved. Simply one of finest episodes of storytelling in the entire Trek canon.
