humming an unfinished melody

i keep a special sketchbook given to me long ago containing work from a very unfinished series. i hope to finish it someday, and perhaps even share it.

i recently flipped open to this one though, and in lieu of the inordinate amounts of "horror" drawings i've been working on, i felt this would be fun to share.

Strawberry Shortcake


It's with great excitement that I think I can finally announce my comic book debut! Coming to a shelf near you, premiering on a wednesday, I was asked to be the cover artist for Ape Entertainment's Strawberry Shortcake limited series!

This is the first time li'l Ms. Shortcake has graced a comic book in 25 years!
The best part? It's going to be a "Strawberry Scented" Issue #1 !!!


the process and people have been absolutely incredible to work with, and things have been smooth and enthusiastic. below is a quick sketch/comp and a preview of blueberry-centric #2 !

I can hardly believe it myself. Very proud to be involved in both comic books as well as once again having an opportunity to make art for children to hopefully enjoy. There are a lot of extremely exciting things in the works, both Strawberry AND non-strawberry, but I still can't share them all just yet. Rest assured I am busier than ever, grateful as always, and looking forward to it all

** UPDATE: we're a "Staff Pick" in Previews Magazine !!! Read all about it HERE!

thanks, and take care
pw!

PS: I saved this "sweeter" post for today so I could wish my Mom a very Happy, and monumental, Birthday. I'm so thankful for her; she's the best!

Protagonist : States EP


recently i was asked to help Florida's PROTAGONIST to bring ideas for their new "States" EP to life. Modeled after their home state of Florida's flag, the band wanted reflect their own experiences, both wonderful and horrible, traveling across the country on tour, as well as broader interpersonal reflections on the past through stories both personal and historical.
