Are you heading to the museum in Uji on this trip??

Have the best time! I miss Japan so much!

Four cute little cartoon birds in a line: a yellow one has sunglasses on his head and holds a refreshing bottle with a straw and lemon wedge in it. An orange bird wears stylish profile sunglasses, a blue bird wears a green neck scarf, and a taller purple bird has a ponytail of feathers on her head.

Working on some bird buddies for TJ for the second Pip & Pals book. 😎

I recently finished the art for the first Pip & Pals adventure (out next summer!) and I’m excited for everyone to meet these characters! 🦦🏝️

Economist cover: RUINATION DAY

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy?

It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook.

Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump.

But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time.

Let your reps hear from you.

Your school visit drawings are always so impressive!

Panel 1 image: A librarian with brown hair and glasses pushes a cart of library books. Text reads: True Stories from a School Library by Jen de Oliveira Panel 2 image: Two boys unload library books from a wagon into the book return. The boy in the hat looks at a pink book and says, "This was Evelyn's. She's always reading The Dorkin Diaries." Panel 3 image: A close up on the book cover shows the title of the book is actually "Dork Diaries." Panel 4 image: The boy in the hat picks up another book. He says, "Hey! It's Bob Ross!" Panel 5 image: Annoyed, the other boy turns to him and says, "Bob Ross?" Panel 6 image: He continues, "That's Elvis!" A closeup on the book shows a cartoon drawing of Elvis with big hair singing into a microphone. The book's title is Who Was Elvis Presley?

New library comic! You know, “potato, po-tah-to.”

Btw libraries need our support more than ever. (🤬🍊🤡) Let your elected officials (incl. school board!) know how important your school and public libraries are.

Libraries are a gift and every kid should have access to all kinds of books. 📚❤️

Made this little author portrait for something new I’m working on. ✏️ (And yes, it features actual human kids!)
