The best of my illustrations, every day, for a year.

After sorting through all the hidden boxes and forgotten piles in my life, I uncovered a treasure trove of illustrations I’ve been carrying around in sketchbooks and folders for years. I’ve taken the time to refine and edit these pieces, adding little poems to capture the thoughts behind them. Now, I’m excited to share them with you—one each day for a year—along with the originals and maybe some merch. This journey is my tribute to Shel Silverstein, Bill Watterson, Gary Larson, and all the cartoonists who inspired me growing up. I’m not sure where it will lead, but I hope you enjoy these little treasures as much as I do.
