It's been a while since I've been on here, trying to find my path I guess. To illustrate or not to illustrate. But as it is, I can't get away from doing this, I do love it.

So I've gotten involved with a Kickstarter Project and I'm super excited to see where it will go. I saw a couple other familiar names on the list of illustrators as well. Check this out and if you would like to pledge that would be fantastic! If you vote for me, please use my artist code of 5116. You will be asked via email when we reach our goal.

Please share with other social venues... thank you!!!!

Wordsworth and the Dragon on Indiegogo

Scotti Cohn and I are finally getting ready to bring Wordsworth and the Dragon to the printer.

We are going to Indiegogo to raise funds for our book. So, if you have been interested in getting a copy when it is finished, place your order here.

It has been great fun working with Scotti on this. I love getting to do some ink drawings; it seems like they are rarely done anymore.

Bob Staake and Chris Raschka at Blue Manatee

Bob Staake and Caldecott Winner Chris Raschka came to Blue Manatee a couple weeks ago and I took some pictures and video for our blog.

It was an early morning (8:30 am) but they did a great job. They also said to give their salutations to the Cincinnati illustrators.

I also took some Vine Videos:
