  <about><![CDATA[I write and draw children's books.  I'm working on branching out into comics and graphic novels, but it takes a lot of time, so for now, I'm hip deep in the picture book format.  Not that I'm complaining, I find that really good picture books are deceptively complex.  It's an amazing challenge and I'm thankful to all those who make it possible for me to spend gross quantities of time making little pen and ink drawings and singing to myself.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Simon Winchester, Bill Watterson, Andrew Wyeth]]></influences>      <born_at>10/07/1974</born_at>
