Last week, at the San Diego Comic-Con, I won an Eisner award for Johnny Boo and the Ice Cream Computer. It joins my Eisner award for Dragon Puncher Island. It’s pretty interesting to compare subtle differences in the design of the two statues.

The Tragic Hat
It was Literacy Day at Oliver’s school today. Here’s a short story I wrote using a picture as a prompt. (The idea was to help parents experience what their kids are up to at school, so they had small projects for us to do that mimicked the more in depth work the kids have been doing.)

Pack the Sack
It’s my yearly Christmas song. Got my 15 year old son Eli to play trombone on it and I’m so happy about that! Even Ollie does some background vocals in the break.
I inked this on iPad Pro using some homemade brushes in Procreate based on my own real-life brushwork. I colored it on my desktop computer in Photoshop.
I’m amazed that the new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil is a real usable professional drawing tool.
