I read AI as Al so it always takes me a while to catch on. What can I say?

Does the operator actually keep the dime? Just a question that’s bugged me ever since I was a kid.

As I am currently working on a new Lowriders in Space book so I thought I’d share this spread from Lowriders Blast from the Past. These books published by Chronicle Kids are drawn with ballpoint pens.

It was incredible to see my work on the walls of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art but I was floored when I spotted my work in the gift shop! I was not expecting to see both a tote bag and pin blasting forth from the pages of Lowriders in Space from @chroniclebooks.bsky.social Woo-hoo!!
