WANDERERS is out!! This was another book that gave me a great opportunity to learn something that I didn’t know a lot about: HISTORY and TRANSPORTATION, which I believe a lot of kids and even grown-ups have some interest in. 🚙🛶🚀🚌🚛✈️🚂 The book is available wherever books are sold and online! #kidlit

While work is slow these days, which I'm not particularly happy about, I actually enjoy some quality "me" time in days like this. And that reminds me of how important it is to have something that takes my mind off. For me it’s running. A new vlog 👉 youtu.be/vZHPe5NkPaw&...

I recently had a chance to watch this absolutely beautiful animated film called Little Amélie or the Character of Rain. The shifting emotions expressed by the rich palette was stunning. If you haven’t seen the film yet, I highly recommend it!

I had to create a sample before getting the deal to show I’d be able to draw the likeness. I went all in and got it done fully in color. And I found out afterward that they just needed a sketch lol #kidlit
