Happy to share Turtle Power a comic I wrote and illustrated for University of Delaware magazine. The piece honors a 60 year old wild box turtle and the researchers who encountered him over the years.

I recently illustrated a seed packet for Sow True Seed. The company is based in Asheville, NC. Their seeds are always open-pollinated, untreated and GMO free. #nativeplants #illustration #wildlifeart

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist ๐Ÿ“š

This morning's quick reminder: generative AI is a natural resource-guzzling plagiarism machine that exploits creatives to enrich tech bros.

Do not use it to create art or writing.

Do not conduct "fun" experiments with it to show us how awful it is.

There is no ethical use for AI.

Let it die.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isnโ€™t just uncouth or โ€œcontroversialโ€ but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This fine fellow is framed and ready for his next adventure. This is a dunnart, a nocturnal, carnivorous marsupial.
