20+ book pages in watercolor. No AI. Plenty of aches, tears, freak outs, and doubts. Countless hours. Occasional panic. The effort is what makes it worth it. #kidlit #kidlitart

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

I wrote a short essay for @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's Welcome To Hell World about Minneapolis' opposition to ICE.
