I recently had the pleasure of doing some illustrations for my friend Justin Hocking, whose forthcoming memoir, The Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld, will be released next September from Graywolf Press. Justin is the Executive Director of the Independent Publishing Resource Center, where I got my Certificate in Comics and Independent Publishing. If any of you Portland folk don’t already know about this fantastic resource, I highly encourage you to check it out. While the book goes through final revisions, Justin was kind enough to let me post these here on the blog for y’all to enjoy before they appear in print. So here’s some boaty goodness!

You’re killin’ it!
I love the aircraft carrier!
Thanks, Gary! It was challenge to have to draw a modern-looking boat for a change. Glad it reads well to you.
These are outstanding!
Lucy, I think the aircraft carrier is my favorite because of how trippy it is. Wundebar!
Bee-yoo-ti-ful!
