This Saturday I will be in Brooklyn reading and signing books for Indie Bookstore Day @ Books are Magic. Hope you can make it out!
Are you at #TXLA25 ? I’m here celebrating the release of my new book - which is in stores (and libraries) today!
This month I'm hitting the road with Earl and Worm! Hope to see you soon!
This is Worm. Worm likes books. Worm likes quiet. Worm does not like to be interrupted! Worm is one half of EARL AND WORM - my new series for early readers that launches two weeks from today! ✌️👋🪱🦉😎
Hi, this is ink on mixed media paper scanned and colored.
Today at the studio I am experimenting. Just trying to figure this out.
Words and pictures and ink and paper
A nice shout out to Earl and Worm from the one and only Travis Jonker 🦉🪱
Thank you for the Earl and Worm mention!

Today I did not go to the studio. I visited an elementary school in the Philly burbs and read to kids aged K-6th grade. This photo was taken by a 2nd grader 🙂
Thank you, Joann!
Good luck! I love that phase of the process.
Today at the studio I worked on the art for a new picture book. It’s super loose and I’m excited and terrified 🙃
A little Earl and Worm for you! I answered 5 questions for the Horn Book about my new book series for new readers 🦉🪱
Today at the studio I started the final art for a new picture book. This drawing is one that will be combined with 4 others to make one complete image. 1 down, 199 to go. #kidlitart
Today my “studio” was a recording studio where I had the chance to read TWO audiobooks - Earl and Worm audiobooks will be read by ME!
These are all just tests for an upcoming picture book - but yeah - the idea is that I’ll draw each color of the book separately - like in screenprinting. Updates to come!
Today at the studio I am drawing fish
Had no idea this was a thing on BlueSky - thanks for the heads up! I used to do this on Thursdays on Twitter….ten years ago?
Thank you, Molly 🙂
Kay’s hilarious new graphic novel is out today!
Today I am back at the studio, and starting final art for a new picture book that will pub next year. I’m making all the art by hand 🙂 This is a sketch I’ll lightbox for final inks #kidlit
EVIL DR. BUNS!
Hand drawn cover of a student created book. Title is "Baloney and Friends Do Not Get Dirty".
Back cover of a student created book. Why I wrote this book is because I love reading and the original book Baloney and Friends I loved because how Peanut is so kind to Baloney and that is what I feel like when I'm with my friends. So that is why I want it to write a book. Book. Two coming up Baloney and Friends a Helping Hand. Cool! Wow! Awesome!
Authors and illustrators - never forget that you have an influence over the future generation. An ode to Baloney by a 3rd grade student in Littleton, CO. @gregpizzoli.bsky.social
Hey @cordellmatthew.bsky.social I saw these owls today and thought of you 🦉✌️
I visited two different elementary schools today and had such a blast. Reading with kids and talking about writing, drawing, and making stuff - it’s the best.

Today I visited @bookpeople.bsky.social in Austin, TX and signed some books. An amazing indie book store! Much, much better than Amazon.
Today is Day 2 of my week of Texas school visits! We drew pictures and read lots of books - including a sneak peek at Earl and Worm 🪱 🦉
This week I am in Texas visiting elementary schools and reading and drawing with kids. Dream job! #kidlit
