Day 52/100 #the100dayproject. I thought this was the last time we had to change clocks for daylight savings but it turns out that never made its way through congress. I’m a morning person but not like this 😂 have a good Monday everyone ☕️ #kidlitart

I made the illustrations for a kidlit choose-your-path adventure for the Cotsen Children's Library, a unit of the Princeton Library. It was a ton of fun, but i haven't shared any of it here yet! So here are a few pieces from it.

Congratulations Pinocchio! @pinocchiomovie Best Animated Feature for reals!

My seven year old made me this book trailer. I pitched him the general premise, but the set details, timing, and execution were all him, and I love it. ❤️ MAKING MORE: HOW comes out next week on 3/7 from @NYRBooks! 🦌🌱🥳 #stopmotion #picturebooks #trailer #wildlife
