How am I celebrating the JAWS 50th anniversary? With a tour around the setting of the shark movie that inspired my shark book in the setting that is celebrating its 50th anniversary!

Here's a simple way of making your pictures appear 3-D. I've been using it for many years, and it has always served me well. #howtodraw #drawingtips

My next kid graphic novel is about alchemy and I got a bit obsessed researching just so the book could have a readable transmutation formula. It's important to inspire young readers and I believe my work can be a gateway for a new generation of niche, underemployed academics

So my next book SNAKE SCHOOL, about two kids who discover the lost formula for transmutation, is having production woes and got bumped to 2026. 😭 Who knows what the world will look like when this thing comes out. The only bright side is - alchemy never goes out of style.

I have now fulfilled my childhood dream of working in the effect department of a low budget 1950s sci-fi movie. I'm out of Dawn dish soap but it was worth it.

"Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind, forces pulling from the center of the earth again" - pretty good lyric from that song Lightning Crashes by that band LIVE

You know that Stevie Nicks song Storms? Track seven on Tusk, I think. That's a really good song.

Suddenly realizing this drawing I've been working on today is about getting lost on an experimental art journey with no land in sight.

All fans of Jaws and of graphic novels and of good storytelling should check out @iramarcks Shark Summer 🦈
@RobRenzetti booktalked @iramarcks #graphicnovel Shark Summer during our @spookymgbooks authors visit last week. As a huge fan of Jaws, I had to get a copy for our classroom library. The 1st reader is halfway through and there's a waiting list! #mglit
