Lovers Lock

My friends Ryan and Jenn met at the book launch for Grumpy Bird a couple of years ago. I still think it’s one of the best things about the launch. Check out Ryan’s little story about how he and Jenn met. It’s good!

Untitled

I like this drawing but wasn’t sure what to do with it. None of the backgrounds I tried worked particularly well so I’ll just let her sit on a bright yellow one. Hope you like her.

Taina Langevin Profiled me

Here is a really nice little interview done by Taina Langevin. Her questions were thoughtful and fun to answer. I think you should go and check out her blog — it’s fairly new but she has some good stuff on it. Definitely a blog to keep an eye on.
