The Cartooning Oracle of Raw, Glorious Scrawl

Got a pencil? Let’s find your story.

I grew up in a world of paper scraps and bad lighting, and somehow that made me a teacher. I don’t care about talent — I care about truth. If you’ve ever remembered a bike ride from third grade or sat through a dinner you couldn’t wait to escape, we’ve got work to do. My classroom smells like crayons and old comics. Come make a mess.

What I'm Into: index cards, kids who say 'I can't', monster drawings, crayon boxes, awkward family dinners
