Happy #MapMonday! Here’s my favorite island on the planet from way back in time. Look familiar?

The art is en route to the publisher! It’s always hard for me to let it go. This book was especially intense, and it was so very satisfying to get lost in the making. (Random studio cat agrees.)

EARTH: One Planet’s Epic Story coming soon with @abramskids. Yay! 🌎🌍🌏

Final final touches! Though the art is never *truly* done. Ah well.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.
