A little Easter egg in the book "Process Senryū: On corporate life in trying times" which is now available on Amazon. I left a an area in one of the drawings for when I'm signing any copies so that I can add a little survivor to the drawing weathering the storm. Link to the book is in the bio.

Tomorrow is a big day! It’s the launch of the first book under my Protracted Press imprint, and my first time writing and illustrating a book of poetry. The work takes the form of senryū with black-and-white illustrations. Each piece stands on its own, drawn from years of paying attention to how work actually unfolds. The point of this book is observation and recognition, not explanation. So while the book is a destination, it’s also a point of departure. There is more to follow. And it starts tomorrow. Links to follow.

Happy to announce the upcoming release of my first book under the Protracted Press imprint: Process Senryū: On Corporate Life in Trying Times Senryū is haiku’s less formal, more satirical cousin. Where haiku traditionally turns toward nature, senryū turns toward human behavior. This collection grew out of overwork, inbox fatigue, urgency culture, and the strange theater of modern knowledge work. What started as a small coping mechanism, writing short poems observing daily interactions, slowly became a book, and now it's here. Each piece pairs a short senryū with an original black-and-white illustration exploring meetings, invisible labor, recognition systems, reply-all storms, and the quiet pressures that shape our days. Pre-order of the kindle version for phones and tablets available now at the link /dp/B0GP2MM1ZK Paperback and hardcover will be available through Amazon and other booksellers March 17, 2026. If you’ve ever stared at a calendar with no white space and wondered when the work was supposed to happen, this one may feel familiar. More soon.

With affection for everyone who has ever had to say, “next time for sure.”

We should meet about all these meetings...

We're all family here.

When your work laptop sounds like a pinball machine…

You know, because it's more efficient right?

We've all been here before… #worklife #corporatelife #officeculture

There has to be a point in there somewhere.

When you’re on the team, but not the TEAM team

Urgency has a cost. We just don’t always bill for it.
