I’m not sure if he’s more terrified by racing down the steep hill or her romantic intentions.
I recently was asked to provide the cover for this month’s issue of VTKids. Since it’s February and apparently some places get snow this time of year they wanted something wintry and playing into the whole upcoming valentines day thing. Plus it worked out that they had a feature article on the best sledding spots in Vermont.

#illustrator #artist on tumblr #winter #sledding #kids #children's book #sled #february #crushHere’s a cover and a couple of interiors that I did recently for the Washington Posts Local Living section. This was for their earth day issue and the cover story 10 ways to help kids fall in love with being outside. This list included things like going barefoot, finding fun shaped clouds (so obviously dinosaurs), discovering insects, and learning about animal tracks.
Thanks to my AD Amanda Soto for being so great to work with.
Here’s a project that I can finally share with all of you, this past winter I was asked to illustrate a board book for KPO Creative call “Nap-a-Roo” written by Kristy Kurjan and you can now purchase a copy via amazon (both in Kindle or physical version) or the iTunes store. It’s a cute little story about kangaroos and naps.
And so to celebrate it’s release I’m going to be doing a giveaway of a physical copy of 2 copies of the book on via tumblr and on via twitter. To enter all you need to do is to like and reblog this post or retweet the tweet announcing this (because I assume you’re following me on twitter too so you can hear about my lunch or what weird things I’ve found in thrift stores lately.) You have until noon pacific on Tuesday August 5th, I’ll pull a winner from the tweet and the reblogs so do both to double your chances.
Happy to announce that I will be doing another book signing/launch party for “I Want To Eat Your Books”, this time right here in Seattle. I’ll be singing/sketching at Secret Garden Books in Ballard at 7pm on Friday November 13th. They are probably the best children’s book store in Seattle so I’m really excited for the opportunity. I hope to see everyone there, invite your friends/family/random people from the bus. I’m hoping to make this the big one since Seattle is where I call home.
Looking for a holiday gift idea? Inprint is offering 25% all order through the end of today, consider picking up something from my shop.
They’ve got me on a new intuos at work, it’s bigger and a lot more sensitive than the tablet I’m used to working on so here’s my warm up Sasquatch.
“Mother of Wieners”
A friend asked me if I could draw her as Daenerys Targaryen but with Dachshunds instead of dragons. I couldn’t help but oblige.
“Reading Comics in the Park” for Light Grey Art Lab's 6Degrees show. It’s a show about connections and everyone made postcards about who they are, where they live, things they do. For me I combined one of my favorite places in Seattle in Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill, and one of my favorite things reading comics in public.
There’s an opening reception this friday 12/6 at 7 PM at the Light Grey Art Lab, more info about that here. Prints of this are available here.
Emerald City Comicon is this weekend and so that meant it was time to bang out a new minicomic to give out. I don’t have a table this year so I’ll just be wandering around being a nerd. If you happen to see me (reminder I look more or less like this) say hi, I’ll have a bunch of copies printed to give away and I’ll try to not be completely socially inept.
I’ve been meaning to do something with the character forever, and last week I finally figure out something and then proceeded to drive myself crazy trying to finish this in time. This probably won’t be the last you see of her.
Also Cake doughnut are better than yeast doughnuts.
I was recently asked to illustrate a couple of covers for this week’s Monterey County Weekly’s issue and holiday guide. I have never been to Monterey Bay but I love aquatic mammals and birds more than just about anything. Thanks to AD Karen Loutzenheiser from pretty much giving me free reign on these.
I’m not usually feeling very festive this time of year but for some reason I think this year I’m into it all, except the cold, I can’t deal with the cold.
Went to the Eras tour movie today. Feeling drained from sitting in the dark for 3 hours with Taylor Swift and my thoughts but still thinking about it. Quick doodle while I eat cake and watch Bake Off.
