Five months to pub day. Woot! 🎉
I am dying for you to meet the adorable characters in MONSTER MANNER’S A TO Z. And honestly, it would make me as happy as a werewolf on a full moon if you would mark it 'want to read' on Goodreads and/or request your local library carry a copy. 🥰

Twice a month School of Visual Storytelling hosts a FREAKY FRIDAY DRAW-ALONG. I co-hosted with Lee White recently and the subject was "Weird Science".

Super fun, and definitely the only way I'd ever draw a dancing waterbear with top hat and cane!
