Big news - ❇️ 100 Things You Love to Draw ❇️ is live for pre-order! This is expansion to my book Drawing is Magic which has now been in print for 11 years. It focuses on finding your visual voice through the enjoyment of making. All the big book sellers are taking preorders. It collects wisdom from my 20 years in the art classroom @washuivc and @washusamfoxschool with brainstorming and drawing exercises for all ages. I know all doodlers and makers will enjoy it regardless of if you’re just starting or a seasoned pro. 〰️〰️〰️✍️

McToad is back- now in miniature form, with pages thick enough to be chewed on! I really wanted to highlight my favorite drawing of McToad, just how did he get all of himself into that helicopter? 🐸🚁 #McToad #boardbook

Excited to finally see this jacket I did for “This Way to Happy” in print. Looks great! Congrats @alisongreenmyers 🤩I used the classic Great Gatsby jacket illustration by Francis Cugat for inspiration for the carnival.

🇮🇪 Happy St Patrick’s Day 🇮🇪 I’m so very proud of the drawings I contributed to this work of genius by the one and only @thomaspatricklennon (Notice the trilogy makes an Irish flag when they are together.) Go read these to your kids- Irish Harry Potter meets Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. 🍀
