Today’s the day — the 10th annual Posters for Parks show kicks off this afternoon at Minnehaha Falls Park!

“Night/Owl” is my fifth (!) Posters for Parks print and I’m as excited as ever to see my work hanging alongside so many incredible designs.

Each year I challenge myself to try a slightly different approach, with this year’s poster representing my first attempt at using dark colored paper stock with bright opaque inks — I’m especially excited by the way the illustration’s edges get vignetted by the dark blue paper!

About a year ago I was approached by Scholastic to pitch sketch ideas for the reprinting of Animorphs. After cryingscreamingbarfing I said YES OF COURSE. I am so grateful to have been chosen and for the enthusiasm everyone has expressed so far. David Mattingly left me some very big shoes to fill!

How to Support Trans People in All 50 States A curated list of 100 organizations supporting trans rights and livelihood to which you can donate.

Trans people are under attack by an administration looking for scapegoats.

Besides this list of organizations, donate to individual trans folks asking for help and contact your reps to tell them you won't support anyone who doesn't support trans rights.
