The first one is me every time I have to talk to children. Then there's celebrating the long history of CT's book reviews, resilience, and bringing a friend to your church awkwardness. Thanks Will Kelly for the AD!
The article is about a music teacher who leads fancy evenings of fine dining, conversation lessons and classical orchestra, to show students that they belong in these types of worlds.
Loved getting to rock out to classical music while working on this one. Thanks so much for the AD!

Huge thank you and congrats to and the G&G team! Always a pleasure working with you all.
Amazingly, this week marks 100 consecutive animations I've made for AARP's Ask Dr Adam column! Each week I've made a fun (or occasionally serious) animation for this advice column - topics from overcrowded ERs to brain health to phones to cranberry juice. Here's a few of my favorites!
Thank you for making this always such a pleasure, hard to believe it's been 100 of these.
This was a real dream project for me. At the start of 2025 I had made it one of my goals to work on a book. A year later and I'm now holding this beautiful bit of gardening joy in my hands, full of over 150 (!!) illustrations. Here's some of my favorites but it was so hard to choose.
I can't thank enough for bringing me on to this project. You made the entire process such a pleasure and your design and layout made everything sing. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in this.
And, of course, a huge thanks to the legend for writing this masterpiece and letting me capture his amazing joyous vibes.
It's out now in the US and UK, the weather is getting lovely and it's time to get out and grow something. Happy Earth Day!
Thank you to the jury for recognizing and honoring my work, it really means a lot.
This was in a year ago next month, and I love that I get an opportunity to share it again. Huge thank you to for your incredible art direction, this whole process was so fun.
Can't wait to see this printed in the American Illustration book and to see you all at the party later in the year. Congrats to all the winners!!
I especially enjoy the part where my work is next to George Lucas's name. As a huge Star wars nerd I'm going to take this as a sign. Of what, I don't know, but a sign nonetheless.
Thanks again to the amazing for the AD.
