Surprised last week when I learned of a new Quay Brothers film. I’m excited to see it. So in case any of you are as in the dark as I was: youtu.be/XkKPqXMFHS8?...

It was nice to discover that @100scopenotes.bsky.social included ‘BUILD!’ in the roundup of books for kids starting preschool, in the NYTimes. 🙏🙏🙏 “Never underestimate the appeal of truck books. A cast of colorful heavy machinery introduces…

For those curious, building stuff from scratch, by hand is my ‘joy’ This is from the backside of the book jacket from ‘Elvis is King!’ Each piece is printed to scale so readers could get a feel for how the art was made.

Sounds like the story of Elvis is back in the news. Gonna take this opportunity to show some artwork from my picture book collaboration with Jonah Winter ‘Elvis is King!’ published by @randomhousekids.bsky.social

Saw this in the wild today and couldn't not think of @rednosestudio.bsky.social

New artwork for @sojo.net accompanying a feature by Carolyn Whitney-Brown about Henri Nouwen who was a Dutch Catholic Priest that fell in love with the trapeze. Henri wrote about the faith and trust required between trapeze artists and the parallels with religion. Thanks to A.D. Kory Kennedy!

A fly-thru of the set created for ‘The Charmer’

Charminar at Hyderabad is a wondrous structure in India where I theorize that the Pied Piper played a crumhorn to ease Asia of Nizam of a monstrous brood of vampyre bats.

For Father’s Day, a couple of my family ‘tolerated’ going to the art museum with me. I wasn’t aware that there was a exhibit of Käthe Kollwitz at the Indianapolis Art Museum. I don’t think I took a breath while I stood in front of her work. It brought me to tears.

‘Machine Parade’ construction site wraps for the new Westin at the Indianapolis International Airport. It was my first ground breaking and the 5 year old kid in me was loving it!

I saw someone say AI is useful because it generates ideas. My dude, I'm full of ideas. I have docs and docs marked under 'ideas.' I have outlines and fragments of stuff I might work on. Trunked stories galore. Even if I continue to write a novel a year for the next 40 years I won't run out of ideas.
