As I was looking at picture books last night for inspiration, it just made me feel so lucky to be among so many amazing picture book authors, and illustrators these days. (Feeling like this bulldog from a James Marshall painting)

I made this in Art School, and just found it in a box recently. Two things are true here... My sense of humor has not changed a bit, and tampons need tiny top hats.

I always always ALWAYS feel so good helping other creators find their way. Especially my dear fellow Latiné ones. This kid's drawing of me is extremely accurate at the moment.

Of COURSE this book is hilarious and energetic and goofy but it’s also empathetic and practical and sweet. It also has, like, the best opening line I’ve read this year, and I want to spoil it for you but I WON’T. Go read it!

Don't ever let anybody tell you that being a cartoonist/graphic novelist isn't one of the most demanding jobs ever. Here are all the jobs it takes to make a graphic novel: 1) Script Writer 2) Casting Director 3) Costume Designer 4) Actor (all of them) 5) Storyboard Artist 6) Background Designer ...

organized auctions to help raise funds for LA communities impacted by the wildfires. I donated original picture book art, which is rare for me as I love my art so much. But I love so many people in LA more. ❤️ Amazing Auctions here ⬇️
