Finally got to check out this local brewery outpost of Roundhead Brewing Company yesterday. It has taken over the abandoned gas station with these awesome messages of “Making Sad Things Happy” greeting you as you make your way to the entrance. Making Sad Things Happy is a kick in the A$$ that supports you to…

This is a fun little shop to get lost in – finding a lot of inspiration with color, typography, pop culture of days past as well as coming away with a treasure or two. 386 Lindelof Ave, Stoughton, MA 02072 (not that far from Ikea)

This was our second summer spent hanging out at Old Orchard Beach. We love to dip our toes into the ice cold New England waters when it’s hot & humid on the sand, return to our favorite spots and discover new sites as well. We also hit up spots in New Hampshire that are along…

We got to the beach at 9AM and left at 3PM. It was nice to listen to the waves, dip our toes into the freezing cold waters when it was getting a bit too warm, walk along the shore and get some nap and reading time in. Summer has officially begun.

We had the quintessential New England winter weekend filled with snowboarding and sledding down a hill with fresh snow. Last year, we were hoping to get some snowboard lessons in for the kiddo, but we never made it to the mountain. We had all his gear ready too, most of which he outgrew :/ Snowboarding…

It was a balmy Halloween which made for a more fun and comfortable trick-or-treating experience. Definitely not great cuz global warming but more folks were out and about – little block parties were happening in the street complete with grilling, a classic Ghostbuster music video projected on a giant screen and just an overwhelming sense…

Making Comics Again

I’ve taken a long break from making comics and it was a necessary break. I needed to re-discover my love of writing and drawing again – appreciating that I have a particular point of view and style that is all my own. I’m not here to measure up to some nebulous idea in my head…

For a good chunk of my career, my days were centered on creating new Star Wars character illustrations to be released in time for May the 4th – fan favorite USB flash drives like this C-3PO which I am super proud of. So, it was only right that my kiddo would be born on this…

For our spring family vacation, we headed up to Maine for some off-season beach bumming and enjoying the city of Portland. Wells Beach Wells Beach was cold, but not so cold that we couldn’t enjoy some time on the sand. Our Airbnb was right across the street from the beach – we were so close…

My Pokemon Fanart Workspace

This is where all the Pokemon fanart is created. The table is the Ikea Jokkmokk kitchen table which I’ve had forever – it comes with 4 chairs! Anyhow, there’s a pile of Crayola construction paper within easy reach and the kiddo divided the Crayola crayons into two containers when one is sufficient, but toddler minds…
