  • About Tubba and Friends

    Tubba and Friends is an original character-driven world I created around music, friendship, adventure, and childhood imagination. What began with a cast of colorful animal characters grew into the world of Harmony Ridge, where I develop the characters, stories, environments, and illustrations that bring their adventures to life.
