Honoured to draw my Simon & Schuster Children's editor @jpchanda.bsky.social for a surprise gift from JP's co-workers to help celebrate his 20th year working at S&S! See I'M BORED (by @michaelianblack.bsky.social & me) in the top row. 🩷

Continue to feel lucky to be working with Justin. #KidLit

Maybe, and hear me out on this, maybe aside from the few fleeting moments of thought provoking content each episode #Severance is mostly just over produced and over directed nonsense. Maybe.
