A bit different from my usual work, but earlier this year my children’s book was released! I was hired by @marblepress.bsky.social to be the illustrator for this new series by @hdtorresauthor.bsky.social . If you have seen Tractor Squad on the shelves of you local bookstore, you can find it online!
