Fifteen Pounds of Licking Fury

Carlos the Therapy Dog made my day at a recent bookstore event with Dan Gutman.

Last week Dan Gutman and I got together at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, Arizona. He and I have worked together on the My Weird School series for 10 years but this is the first time we have met face to face!! It was a blast presenting with him. I think we had more fun than the kids.

Wuzz Its

Here's a project that I completely enjoyed. WuzzIts is a monster themed card game created by Blue Orange Games. My job was to create thirty characters that would be printed on their game cards. The characters were a nice mix of goofy, scary, gross, slimy, bizarre and weird. I submitted many sketches and we picked the ones that worked best for their game. Stephanie Elliott (AD) was on the ball and kept the WuzzIts machine chugging along. These are the fun jobs that make me glad I do this for a living.
