(There's historical accuracy in this picture book, by the way - based off a true story.)

Illustration of three ships, one a vessel from the 18th century, one from the early 1900s, and one a much larger passenger ship from the later 20th century pass by a little island, who is looking on with wonder, saying "Wow!"

Throughout the years, many ships passed by the little island, but no one bothered to look its way. 🤷‍♂️☹️

Illustration of a small island, surrounded by water and small icebergs and snow. There's a polar bear sitting on it, and the island is looking at the bear, saying "Hi, what's your name?" There's text above this scene which reads, "Occasionally a visitor would stop by to rest."

Thought I'd share more from this picture book I've written, starring a lonely island, hoping to be discovered. And like the island, I'm hoping to get this published some day! 🤞🤞

I’m in a window seat on this flight. There’s an open seat between me and this guy in the aisle seat. He’s a loud talker. I’m trying to be polite yet disengaging, but he doesn’t really read my cues. And now, he’s talking about trump and I can’t even.

I’m putting on my headphones now.

Fun illustration of three men sitting at a cafe table drinking Smirnoff vodka and one is eating ice cream with a spoon. The angles and colors of the men are striking and dynamic.

Book trailer for SPACE CASE: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL - Aug. 19th! @simonkids.bsky.social

Just watched the film for the first time (!) as well as the short at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago the other night. It was an amazing experience.

Photo of a wide angle shot of the interior of Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio space, of the octagonal ceiling with several people looking up at it.

I gave myself a gift and visited the home and studio of Frank Lloyd Wright yesterday and it did not disappoint.

Fun illustration of a family at a forest cabin with a slant A-frame and the wife and kids are surrounding the dad who's standing in a little boat and has caught a very, very small fish. There's a little weiner dog in the scene, too.
