Claudia Claws is here!! Palming this book like youâd palm a basketball because this book is a slam dunk! And yes that IS me endorsing myself, because Iâm really proud of this little story! It got me through a bumpy creative time, it surprised me even as I wrote it, and it still gives me something to think about now that itâs all wrapped up. Hopefully youâll enjoy it too! This story is a little strange but seeing how much my 7 year old enjoyed it I feel safe saying itâs good for all ages. If you preordered (thank you!!!) your copies go out today! If youâve been meaning to order, you can get it in my bi0 l!nk.

What happened to Claudia Claws?
When the feline basketball superstar disappears without explanation, her fans and teammates are left scratching their heads. Claudia now hides out in a secluded cabin, wishing everyone would leave her alone. After a chance encounter with a kind-hearted team manager, Claudia dares to face the bizarre events of her past and consider if there might be a path back to the game she once loved.

This book means a lot to me and I have so much more to say about it, but today Iâm just gonna chill. But not before I thank my incredible editor @andreacolvinkc and the whole team at @littlebrownink and @littlebrownyoungreaders , my legendary agent @abuckslater , and champion colorist @andyharvest ; these people literally made this book happen, and I am so grateful for each of them. And for all of you who have cheered me on along the way, endless thank yous. Hope you enjoy this story!!

Happy May Day! 6ish years ago I began writing what would become a 334-page comic called MAYDAY76. It was even shortlisted for the 2021 Cartoonist Studio Prize! It was the creative lifeline that got me through the pandemic, Iâll always love it for that. And anyway, you can read the whole thing online (link in bio)! I know thatâs a lot to read on a screen but itâs grouped in chapters. Maybe some day Iâll get around to printing itâŚ
A true story! Iâve been volunteering with my kids 5th grade class and we are going to make a comic zine based on school stories. I was trying to think of one of my more embarrassing moments to use as an example and this one came to mind⌠đ
Been a while since I drew a fam comic! (Harvey would probably like me to clarify that HELEN watched kpop demon hunters while he watched ready player one đ ) #comics #kpopdemonhunters
New winter workshops just dropped! If youâre in the Portland area here are three more chances to catch my Creating Characters workshop, perfect for kids, teens, or anyone who feels like making comics really! If youâre interested in bringing one of my workshops (and by extension, me) to one of your libraries or schools, reach out!
I made a video game soundtrack! Itâs called LastPunch, and itâs based on a character I made with my (then) 3-year old kid đ The game doesnât actually exist (yet) but the music does and you can listen to it and read the story. We all know where to find *ahem* LYNX on IG these days, right? I made all the songs using two Pocket Operators, which Iâm a total newbie at but I think Iâm hooked. Hope you like it!
Well gosh, I realized I had to scroll way too far down my grid to spot this one. My first book Trespassers is a middle grade graphic novel that is PERFECT for a summer vacation read (if I do say so myself!) Gabby and her family are on vacation at the lake, when she and some pals take it upon themselves to solve a mystery about a creepy abandoned lake houseâŚ. Published by @graphixbooks in 2020, it warms my heart to know that kids are still discovering this one. Including my 7 year old who saw it laying out the other day and said âOh, Trespassers! I havenât read this one yet!â #comics #graphicnovels #kidlit #middlegradebooks
