Testimonials
I like that you draw ugly people. Some day I would like to be an author and illustrator just like you!
Thank you for coming to our school. You were fantastic. My favorite part was when you drew that picture of Gargantuan...
You are a great person, not to mention a great author and illustrator. Thank you.
P.S. My Grandma lives in Needham!
I liked the way you do digitial drawing, because it is cool.
