My middle grade graphic novel is now complete and available at www.robsketches.com It’s a fun small mystery with intriguing characters and laugh-out/loud moments. I hope you enjoy it.

Wholeheartedly agree. I know tons of authors who can’t sell great stuff because of this.

I got some great advice on needing some backstory in my graphic novel. Here is the first of two spreads I added to the first chapter. I’m dropping eight to ten new pages a week so follow along and tell anyone you think might be interested. Find it at www.robsketches.com

Drawing scenes with lots of people is a good way to trip up your posting schedule.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day! I’m an author-illustrator also open to illustration only jobs. I can do anything from board books to middle grade but graphic novels are probably my sweet spot.

In my picture book with my character Ollie, I had a few moment of silly cursing where the characters say β€œFlappity Finch.” My first attempt was β€œFrigate Bird.” It sounded too dirty to the editors so I changed it. Feel free to add it to your repertoire.

Sometimes revenge is best served as a giant snowball.

Working on animation for the first time ever. It’s been pretty fun with a steep learning curve.
