Cartoon for the Frick Collection. This space is really magical.

This coming Wednesday I am speaking with the Triangle Association of Freelancers via Zoom on Wednesday, January 28, starting at 7 p.m. I was asked to talk about my cartooning and freelance writing career, “…and perhaps offer a bit of advice for newbies along the way.” I'm passionate about cartooning, but excited, too, to talk with you about your writing career. It’s FREE and you can join HERE.

I had a really nice conversation with Estelle Sobel Erasmus and Nava Atlas on Estelle's always insightful, award-winning podcast, FREELANCE WRITING DIRECT. It's a good episode for writers, especially those collaborating. Click here to listen.

Thanks and be safe out there. Totally unrelated, the supermarkets up here are sold out of cheese ravioli. Let me know the status in your neighborhood.
