Getting a banner to work on YouTube across devices is tricky.

I am sure that Iโ€™ll noodle with this a dozen times between now and tomorrow. (And Iโ€™ll probably wake up in the middle of the night with other ideas.)
Highlight of the 2025 travel season was visiting with you in your library. May 2026 kick off wonderfully for youโ€”and your Worcester commute!

We "try" to meet once a month, but it's more like "when is everyone in town?" Good news, is that @authorgracelin.bsky.social @mikecurato.bsky.social @studiojjk.bsky.social and I got to see each other before the year ended! Grace brought lottery tickets. Only one person won something.

And lookโ€”I know it isnโ€™t the point of therapy, but Iโ€™ve found it to be a great place to workshop new material, just like standup comedians use basement clubs in NYC.

I hadnโ€™t realized what mug I grabbed until 20 minutes into my therapy session. But it did make for good comedy every time my coffee came into frame when I took a sip.

(Telehealth therapy is on my schedule for every Mondayโ€”ironclad on my calendar.)

Here is a clip from my acceptance speech at the Mass State House in which I urge the Senators and Representatives in attendance to get Bill S.2328, An Act Regarding Free Expression, passed and signed into law.

So much gratitude.

Iโ€™m beyond honored to be the inaugural recipient of the Massachusetts Graphic Novel Award.

Thank you, Mass Center for the Book & Boston Comic Arts Foundation, for all the passionate and hard work.

For any authors and/or illustrators looking to up their game when presenting at schools, my webinar has been making a big difference for folks who took the class.

I hope it can help you as well!

I tinker with my YouTube thumbnails a few times a year.

After learning more about the platform, Iโ€™ve created a consistent look for series and simplified designs.

Posting to YouTube can feel like throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks.

And for whatever reasonโ€”this latest is taking off.
