How to Finish

 This comic was inspired by Jon Acuff's new book Finish. Thanks to Jon for the collaboration - you can get this poster on his book tour!

Perfect

As a recovering perfectionist, I was thrilled when author Jon Acuff asked me to draw a poster for his new book Finish. Visit Jon on his book tour to get a poster, or find it at my shop.

Iridescence

Lately I've been reading poetry by Mary Oliver, Ted Kooser, and Pablo Neruda. It's like looking at the ordinary world through a lens that gives common things extraordinary brilliance. This comic is my attempt to capture that feeling.
