Happy Holidays!
I hope that no matter what you celebrate this season that you have a wonderful time with your family and friends. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Artfields 2019!
I'm happy to announce that my latest animation - 26 LEAD SOLDIERS - was accepted into the 2019 Artfields competition in Lake City, SC. This event features nearly 400 entries chosen out of over 1000 submissions from artists across the southeast. Artfields occurs from April 26 - May 4, and during this time, all selected works will be in exhibition at various venues throughout the downtown area. There is also a Makers Market on April 27 - 28 that takes place during the festival. I'll pass along details as I learn them.
New Book!
Here's a sneak peak at the work-in-progress cover from my upcoming book, NO SHOES FOR BIGFOOT. It's currently scheduled to be released in early February. I hope to have a debut signing to announce to you next month. This one was a lot of fun to make, and I can't wait to be able to share it with you!
Last Month's Contest Winner!
Last month's newsletter featured a contest where you could guess what I was drawing with only 13 of the 26 letters shown. Thanks to everyone that played. The correct answer, as seen below, is a raccoon. All correct answers received were entered into a drawing for an exclusive magnet two-pack. The winner is...Helen P. of TN!

Now Scheduling Schools for Spring and 2019-2020
If you work or volunteer at a school and are interested in an author visit or custom book fundraiser, please get in touch. I'm currently scheduling for the spring and into fall 2019. The school visits are reasonably priced and can possibly be free. The fundraisers involve a custom book being written/illustrated about what makes your school a great place. It includes custom drawings of your building, mascot, a town landmark, and more. Each item sold earns your school $5 profit!
