FYI I’m going to Alaska next week for this! Have gone absolutely feral finishing this graphic novel in isolation for the last month so I think I’ll fit right in. Gonna steal some garbage and hop around pretending to be a raven.

If you're in Savannah, you can visit the museum in person to see my Very Normal Research Process. Opening reception's Friday May 1st from 5-7:30pm, but the show will remain up through January 2027. www.shipsofthesea.org/drawn-to-sea
