It seems like right after I do a workshop somewhere and post a wrap up about it, I get a bunch of people emailing me or commenting that they didn’t know it was happening and they wished they would have so they could have participated.

I don’t know what else to do… READ MORE

I’ve added a second Atlanta area workshop and one in London, England to the list of 2018 dates! The second Atlanta workshop takes place Feb 23rd-25th, the weekend following the original Atlanta dates.

The publishing house Papersalt creates “gifts to inspire, empower and educate kids and families”. They just released a kid’s book called The Presidents with interesting facts about each of the 45 Presidents of the United States, illustrated with caricatures by yours truly.

Here are some sample pages: The book is 48 pages, 8.5″ x 5.5″ wire-o book on heavy-weight uncoated cover stock. If interested… READ MORE
