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 […]

Jack-O-Lanterns Galore
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 […]
Happy May the 4th Be With You
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 […]
Spring Break in Maine

Wells Beach Maine Classic Car Museum Downtown Portland We enjoyed the food and all the shops – especially the bookstores and comic book shop. Cate Meow Lounge Children’s Museum & Theatre Would it be […]
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 […]
Happy 2024
It’s a new year and here are a few updates… So, January is off to a pretty good start…other than this flu I caught on Christmas which still has not released me from its clutches.
André 3000 on new creative pursuits
“Even now people think, Oh, man, he’s just sitting on raps, or he’s just holding these raps hostage. I ain’t got no raps like that. It actually feels…sometimes it feels inauthentic for me to rap because I don’t have anything to talk about in that way. I’m 48 years old. And not to say that […]
Afternoon Drawing Session
This is supposed to be a bok choy. i like how the colors turned out. All of this is courtesy of making art with the kiddo this afternoon which was really nice…and, much needed. However, for two seconds I was paralyzed — I couldn’t put the crayon to paper because I didn’t know what to […]
Apple Picking at Mann Orchards in Methuen, MA
We were able to get in some family apple picking time just as the season winds down. We usually get out there earlier but every weekend has been rainy. Much thanks to Mother Nature and an invite because we had a blast. The orchard at Mann Orchards now ranks as tops on our list for […]
