I’ve been struggling with drawing for the last month. Sometimes you just need to spend time just to loosen up and get the finger muscles back in gear

I once chatted with Stan Lee for a half hour at a Disney party at #SDCC when I was just starting out. We were surrounded by celebrities, but for some reason he took the time to talk to me and treat me like I was the only person in the room. He asked what I did, I told him I was a writer and admitted that I had doubts about freelancing. He said, “Don’t do it for the money, do what you love and the money will find you.” For a half hour this comic legend gave me a pep talk and told me I could do it. We’ve lost a National Treasure.

RIP #StanLee. You will be missed

With the help of friends and family young Ryker converted his wheelchair into his favorite book. #Beekle

This is why I write for children.
