I saw that School Library Journal is hosting a competition to “Re-Sendakify Sendak” – meaning to re-draw a scene from a Sendak book in the style of a different children’s book author. I redrew a scene from Bumble-Ardy as Richard Scarry. It was eerie to articulate how much of an impact Scarry had on my drawing style as a kid. I still get excited when I see his work.

I’m really loving solving the Studio YOLO comics prompts – it’s becoming one of my favorite monthly drawing games. This month’s script was by Christa Cassano.

Created this pair with Rich. We’ve been watching the Red Tail Hawks rear a few generations off a ledge at the Franklin Institute every year. Read more about them on Della Micah’s blog.

Video of the ACA Residency I did in October in New Smyrna Beach. I’m featured in the video, take a look!

Drew this cover for The Extraordinaires new 7-inch Pen Pals EP! Coming.. soon?

Three of my comics are featured in The Funnies, curated by Joanna Quigley. One is the above Mystery Monkey, which I’ve been sitting on for a long time. I made it right when I got back from the comics residency in New Smyrna Beach at the ACA – right after the Mystery Monkey of Tampa was captured, and the woman was arrested for riding the manatee. Lots of great Floridian animal news.

See Mystery Monkey, Animal Party (featured in Feb 2013′s SY #4 challenge), and another piece I did about the hazards of cycling in Philly (which sold on opening night!) at Benna’s until April 11.

I think I finally cracked the code to this month’s script by JP Pollard. SY is an online comics club formed by colleagues post-ACA residency.

Created this cover for Josephine Tey’s 1929 book The Man in the Queue as part of Dasha Tolstikova’s Forgotten Book [Mostly Mysteries] Cover Book Club.

Excited to be a really last-minute part of this comics show that’s pulling people from the ACA residency. Come on Saturday and buy one of my watercolor comics!
