• The dream is to see this in lights: Chamelia: The Animated Series! My partner, Steven Wendland (formerly of Technicolor) has been diligent in his pursuit of a producer, and I still hold belief that it will find a home somewhere. He has some serious leads and I look forward to hearing an update from him soon. Go, Steven and Chamelia!
Current status: Still in search of a production partner.
I am collaborating with my life-long friend (45 years!) and fellow creative, Tim Steinouer, on two 48-page full-color picture books for Christy Ottaviano at Hachette/Christy Ottaviano Books. The stories star two anthropomorphic animal friends taking road trips around the United States. They are fictional stories with a huge amount of non-fictional elements. Tim is doing the writing and I am doing the designing and illustrating. Fun stuff!
Current status: Book 1 art is complete (available Summer 2027) and Book 2 is in early development.

I am in the middle of illustrating a graphic novel/illustrated chapter book series that I collaborated on with with my old friend and super-writer, Jason Eaton. Jason has written many award-winning books, and also wrote the script for the movie Ice Age 3. For this project about the The Little Pigs as superheroes, Jason wrote a super funny manuscript (and ideas for a sequel.) It sold to David Linker at Harper Collins in a two-book deal. Can’t wait see this book complete! Super grateful! Update: Book 1 cover is below and the interior art is in the sketch stage.

Dog Meets Dog: On the Loose in London (Book 1 in the exciting chapter book series) publishes today! Simon and Schuster/Simon Kids is really pushing this title to promote their new Star Chapter Book series, and we love the exposure! Thanks to Siobhan Ciminera for championing this series for Dan and I. Thanks to Laure Roode, Tim Travaglini and Rebecca Sherman for everything, too!
