From time to time I write and illustrate books. For a full list of books that my work and thoughts have been featured in, please visit my CV page and the catalogue/book section in particular. If you are interested in a signed copy of a book, I do keep a few extra of most titles in the studio. Please just reach out and ask.

Published in 2021, I was asked to write a visual biography on the history of crayola crayons. I talked to many crayolians [people who work there] and had a great time annotating all 120 colors of crayon. There are some really fun facts in the book as well as feaetures on some artists utilizing crayons in their work. Learn more on BDL's site. Find it locally on Indie Bound or on Amazon.
In 2015 I was a resident at Irving Street Projects in San Francisco where I documented people's keepsakes - things that were meaningful to them. Each item was photographed, a tag was created with the story of the object, and then I rendered the object thinking of the story behind it. There's an essay by Kelly Inouye about the project too. The catalouge is available here.
