Sea angels are one of the countless species making their home on the high seas. It's time we protect them.

I can't wait to watch this (and, as always, great thread by Bob Flynn - same on bloosky!)

This book is AMAZING and I wish I could go back in time and give it to teen-me (but also adult-me loved it just as much!!). It was my favorite read of last year - Eliot Schrefer 🌈's writing and interviews plus ꩜ jules z ꩜'s illos and comics are the perfect combination!

Art by the amazing Maris Wicks!
Coming in August from MacKids Books 🐦💙🩵🐦🥳

I haven't been on twitter at all because I logged out everywhere except one place and forgot my password but looks like 2 of the ~*adult*~ book covers I designed got revealed this week and I am EXTREMELY proud of them, please go preorder these beauties!!!!

I’m very happy to announce my debut children’s book: The Deep!, coming June 27th 2023 from Penguin Workshop! The book is chock full of facts, comics, puns, and ridiculous jokes all about the denizens of the darkest reaches of the ocean. Preorder link will be added below👇
