I tried out some new watercolor paper based on a recommendation. It's hot press, but it's the Dick Blick store brand. Works really well.

A bunch of Emmy statues

Had a great time at the Emmys last night. Unfortunately didn't get one of these, but still so immensely proud of our Xavier Riddle team, the folks at 9 Story and PBSKids. Most of all, to my partner in crime, @bradmeltzer.com , who makes all of this a joy!

Didn't McCain also mock sing, "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." to the tune of Barbara Ann?

Every year for a while now I watch Ken Burns' Baseball when Spring Training opens. For those playing along, Ted Williams just ended his season with a .406 batting average.

The Circus of P.T. Bimbo pocket book.

The Circus of P.T. Bimbo pocket book.

My favorite of his was The Circus of P.T. Bimbo, later Bimbo's Circus. Defined characters, great designs. He cut it short to concentrate on Eek & Meek. My wish is to find an original one day.

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislatu… YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

FCC Chairman Carr is β€œthinking”of removing the Equal Time rule exception for TV talk shows (but not right-wing talk radio), so CBS wouldn’t let Stephen Colbert air this interview with Texas senate candidate James Talarico. Let’s Streisand Effect the hell out of it on YT.

Celebrate President's Day with these heroes with cover images of Lincoln, Washington and Roosevelt, the Teddy flavor.

This President's Day pick up stories about past presidents. One helped create the country, on preserved the country and one preserved the country's natural resources. Look for the new Washington soft cover made specially for the country's 250th!

I believe I was working at Marvel at the time and Groo was at Epic, so I may have gotten it up at Marvel or at a NY con and mentioned I work at Marvel. But he did a great sketch, nonetheless.

Groo and Rufferto sketch

I remembered meeting Sergio. I remember him doing a sketch in my sketchbook. I couldn’t seem to find it again for years. I thought maybe it was the Mandela effect. I just dreamed it or something. Found it today and it’s more awesome than I remembered!

Cover of I AM BILLIE JEAN KING saying it's banned.

Cover of I AM BILLIE JEAN KING saying it's banned.

Houston has banned I Am Billie Jean King--one of our greatest sports heroes. All because we mentioned who she is and who she loves. Now a whole community won't learn about this amazing person. I hope they change their minds.

Not that I deserve to be on there, but I lettered Uncanny for years. I just think if they are listing, they should list everyone. Hell, leave me out and save the space for others. Just not cool for folks like Terry and Tom.

Did this just come out? Is this supposed to be everyone who worked on the X-Men? If so, the absence of Terry Austin and Tom Orz is a major fail.

Historian Joanne Freeman on reckoning with where we are and where we want to be This hour, Joanne Freeman joins us to share a few thoughts about the latest news, empathy, history, and America 250.

Yesterday Connecticut Nat'l Public Radio did an episode on my new PM show: "A Few Thoughts for Those Who Can't Sleep."

I usually beam in between 10 and 11 PM on my YouTube channel (honestly--just before I go to sleep).

If you'd like to take a listen, here's a link.
