I LOVE talking to kids about art and creativity and how I was able to turn it into a career, and how they can too! I am currently available for school and library visits where I will talk about my career as an illustrator and author, discuss and sign copies of my new book I Am Not Okay, and do a fun and simple cartooning lesson that anyone can do!

I have written and illustrated for various comics, children’s books and magazines including SpongeBob Comics, MAD Magazine, Garfield, Adventure Time, Highlights, the Zombie Chasers book series and many more. I enjoy engaging with and encouraging kids who want to pursue a creative career and let them know it is possible!

Copies of my books can be ordered directly from the publisher or your preferred local bookstore.

Fee: $300 per 45 minute session
