Such a fun character! The roller skates, walkman and headphones all bring me back. Wonderful color and value as well!

Who knew the kraken just wanted a singing buddy! Great piece as always, Rob!

Your settings and compositions are always wonderful. What a great piece all around!

What a wonderful piece! I love the crab and how you rendered the water.

Hi #kidlitartpostcard! ✌️

I’m just an author and illustrator standing here with a book dummy. I love telling weird, humorous stories, often with a nonfiction element.
