Celebrating finishing the art for my second picture book with champagne and Totino’s pizza… which feels somehow appropriate for a children’s book writer and illustrator. #kidlit #kidlitart #illustrator #writer 🍾🍕

I went to a LIVE event! My first CCIRA! Thank you @SCBWIRockyMtn. “If Ur Stabby” was reported to be THE teacher and librarian personal favorite. Nobody needs that sweet sweet catharsis more than educators. #ccira22 #ifURstabby #teacher #librarian #author #illustrator

I think I look like a Skeksi, but today I was brave and introduced myself to my local @BNBuzz #bookseller as a debut children’s book #author and #illustrator. When they looked up and saw the SWIM, JIM! cover, they got really excited. “Oh! We can sell this for sure!”#SwimJim
