Wax on, wax off! Happy Book Birthday to The Karate Kid! The latest book in the #PopClassics series is out today in bookstores. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did working on it with the fantastic team at @quirkbooks ! I’ll be celebrating it’s release all week by sharing some more illustrations and process of working on the book.
Link in my bio for where you can find your own copy today.
