Always watching and silently judging, frogs are cool. Here's a sketch for a page in a book coming out this fall. "The Turkey Train" is about turkeys on a train. So I drew frogs. What's wrong with me?

How did the humble, former TV weather anchor - turned popular kids book author, Trudi Trueit, convince the reclusive, feral artist (me!) to leave the safety of his art cave and agree to an interview? Read it here and also enter to win a free sketch!

No story. No reason. Sometimes it's fun to just draw.

Nice way to start the new year. These two pieces were chosen to be in the 2012 Society Of Illustrators - Los Angeles juried exhibition. The show will be at the Gallery Nucleus at the end of March.

Happy 2012! Last year is quickly becoming a whispy, half remembered memory. I hope this year is everything you hoped it could be.

Recent studies show that pictures of goofy characters skateboarding on a distant planet makes kids smarter and more attractive. Normally, I am against scientific data gathered in labratory conditions at large Ivy League thinktanks. But it's hard to argue against this one.

My visit to draw with the awesome kids at Riggs Elementary School was a laugh fest. Thanks for having me! One of my favorite letters from the kids (Ethen) had this to say, "You inspired me to draw kids throwing up". My work here is through.
