I was thrilled to receive the opportunity to provide illustrations for YGod, a new book by young author Danielle D'Souza. When I was approached by Stan Jantz, publishing director at Regal Books, I was asked if I could produce 32 'New Yorker' style images with a tight turnaround date; he needed them in 21 days. I met my deadline and was able to garner enthusiasm for my work from the Regal team and their young author, Danielle.

It was a great honor and tremendous challenge to take on the task of finishing a series of murals begun by David Legaspy III, a renowned muralist from Australia who has painted at many schools and churches all over the Malibu and LA area. David was able to complete roughly 80% of the murals you see below, but nearly every wall required some finishing touches- leaving approximately two weeks of work. Thankfully, David's sketches were well organized and preserved, leaving little guesswork for me. The experience of translating David's sketches into paint made for a rich and unique collaboration process that I shall not forget. To liven up the collaboration, I was able to bring in the talented helping hands of Heidi Hill (2 days) and Penny Hill (1 day).

For the last year or so, I've had the privilege of enjoying great coffee in my local community at a place called Element. Shop owner, Mike Colston, and his team of baristas have graciously spread their tables with slabs of paper every morning so that the local creatives can find their release through crayon. It has been a lot of fun revisiting 'the original medium', that I became familiar with in childhood. Below is a selection of my works, and some of the people I've been blessed to collaborate with.

Out of nowhere, it suddenly became vital for me to draw elephants. Elephant after elephant- I would draw them in all shapes and sizes. It didn't take long before a character developed, pleading for the company of friends, which is when the donkey and snake showed up. The drawings below are a sampling of my favorites to emerge from my 'elephanitis' period.
