I do not know why social media is so bad at accepting animated gifs that didn’t originate from a repository like giphy or tenor, but I can’t upload this guy to Threads. So I’m posting it here.

Good heavens, what an absolutely perfect SEO title. Hello, robots, and any humans who may accidentally read this as well! I have some opinions about getting your kids book published, finding someone to draw your book for you, and how to do that fairly for both of you so you end up having created a picture book you’re proud of. Why do you want to listen to me about this? I’m an illustrator and…

We’re coming up on five years since we had to hunker down “for two weeks” and let this novel coronavirus thing burn itself out, remember that?I am not about to start waxing nostalgic about 2020. I didn’t need a global pandemic in which we lost tens of millions of people worldwide to teach me that we need art to survive. That has been in my bones since I could hold a crayon. An article I was…

It has been a long time since I’ve given the shop a good, long look, but this has been on my mind for quite some time.
