My comic piece on time and aging is in print @postopinions today AND in color! I’m on vacation at the moment but will grab a photo of the actual print page next week.
I am BEYOND thrilled to have my first byline and comic at @postopinions up today! It’s a special comic for Mother’s Day about why we should all be sure to take photos of the mothers in our lives. Every family is different, but this seems to be a pretty widely shared experience.

‘The Late Show’ never became what Stephen Colbert hoped it would be
Really excited to share this portrait of @colbert for @postopinions . I had to do this in about a day so went for a messier, more ‘painterly’ style.
Sad to see @colbertlateshow off the air but I’m confident that we will see Stephen somewhere soon.

A killed illustration about military benefits for widows and why they often have to choose between those benefits and getting remarried.
I really liked this one, but these things happen.

A couple of recent illustrations for @aarpethel .
The first about cooking with your grandkids and the second about avoiding the stepparent trap. Thanks to Jenny for thinking of me!
Some personal news I forgot to share - so what better time than almost 7pm?
I’ve been promoted @postopinions to Senior Designer! I’m so fortunate to be able to do this job that I love - illustrating, art directing and even drawing print pages - and to be a part of the very important journalism that happens @washingtonpost .
Sometimes you’re at work and are asked to put Trump in a rocket ASAP. And sometimes that ends up being a pretty sweet photo illustration.
For a @postopinions Kathleen Parker column.
