  • My good friend Paul gave our family the children’s book Not-A-Box (now a TV show?) back when our kids were babies. It was a favorite in his house and quickly became a favorite in ours. For Paul’s birthday this year,…

  • I had the pleasure of helping put on the 2nd annual PS 261 Comic-Con at my kid’s school once again this year. We had an amazing lineup of authors come to Brooklyn to talk with the community about creating their…

  • I recently did a quick turnaround on an illustration job creating “posters for a boy’s room” to be used as set decoration on a children’s video production.  Since these were going to be poster-sized, I made these vector drawings so…

  • I’ve been stay-at-home daddy-ing it up to this rascal.  I drew this to be printed up as Thank You notes for baby gifts that we received.
