An illustrated newsletter about the ups, downs, loop-de-loops, and life-changing power of making art and telling stories. From a writer who draws.
Hi! I love to write & draw. Iโm the author of 4 books including the graphic memoir, THE KEEPER (Avery/Penguin). Co-editor, FIELD GUIDE TO GRAPHIC LITERATURE. Comics in Washington Post, Rumpus, Believer. English Prof at Indiana University South Bend.
Stories and drawings about creative practice, self love, neurodivergence and Invisible Things.
I help artists create more and feel less bad about themselves in the process. I share the tools, structure, and mindset I use to overcome creative obstacles.
We are the artists of The Sequential Artists Workshop and we want you to make a graphic novel. Here is where we will show you how to do it, and talk about all things sequential art. Collaborative from Tom Hart, Jess Ruliffson, Emma Jensen and others!
Books & book-adjacent topics, taking the long view, the writing life, and related resources. Posts every 5-6 days.
Once a week, I share a short illustrated essay, hand-painted and hand-lettered, from my desk to yours. Like wishing on a dandelion, I hope itโll bring a moment of beauty and wonder to your day.
