In the Works!

There are more opportunities in front of me than I’ve ever had before, and I’m super grateful! While I’m workong on projects, I like to have others waiting in the wings, that way there is no gap in production or income. I’m running a business here! :)

Here’s how I’m staying creatively active in a wild, wacky world—competing with a global stable of young and hungry artists, navigating the complexities of A.I., a sea of screen personalities, and an ever-evolving publishing landscape.

As Author/llustrator

• A new Scribbles and Ink book about an A.I. bot they create is in progress.

• An early comic chapter book series (72 pages) that I can’t divulge any information about just yet. :) This is currently out on submission.

As Illustrator-only

• Illustrations for a 32-page picture book for Little Brown/Christy Ottaviano Books, written by Janet Tashjian. It is currently in the sketch revision stage.

Collaborations

• The Pig Three, a graphic novel series (two books at 200+ pages each) in the works with writer/book author Jason Eaton to be published by Harper Collins. Book 1 is in production and Book 2 is written, but sketching has not started.

• Wilde and Phree, a picture book series (two books at 48 pages each) with my childhood friend Tim Steinouer. Book 1 (Wilde and Phree See America) is headed to print and Book 2 is in the early stages of development. These will be published by Little Brown/Christy Ottaviano Books.

• A chapter book series with author Tom Watson, who wrote the Stick Dog and Stick Cat chapter book series. This is currently out on submission.

• A conceptual picture book with author/illustrator Michael Slack. This is currently a work-in-progress.

• A novelty book with author/illustrator Jada Jeni Bennett. This is currently a work-in-progress.

Work with Me

I’m always up for discussing new projects! Check out my Idea Lab or Illustration Gallery to see if my aesthetic and energy might be a good fit for your needs. And if you need a quick overview of my work, here’s some tearsheets—just drag and drop them to your desktop! Happy to work on commissions or discuss partnerships. Anything goes!
