Media:
Beyond drawing, I try to create a visual world through storytimes, videos, and even book trailers. It's those experiences—from in-person storytimes and school visits to interviews and events—that really bring my worlds and characters to life. Here you'll find videos, creative projects, appearances, and moments from along the way, including plenty of Tubba and Friends, with more adventures and projects still to come.
