It’s an honor to receive the Kirkus Review star of exceptional merit for my graphic nonfiction book "What Follows Is True: Crescent Hotel." Kirkus has been the industry-renowned resource among authors, publishers, the media, libraries, booksellers, and readers since 1933. Kirkus describes the book as "A gripping, moody, illustrated chronicle of the notorious Crescent Hotel".
Check out the review HERE.
Be sure to check out my original work in the group exhibition Art That Works. I'll be exhibiting original pages from my "WFIT: Crescent Hotel" book along with 10 other Arkansas-based illustrators. This exhibition starts today at the Brad Cushman Gallery at the University of Arkansas: Little Rock, Windgate Center of Art + Design Little Rock, AR. The reception takes place Thursday, January 25, 5:00-7:00pm. The exhibit runs through February 18. Special thanks to curator Nathan Larson.

If you're in Little Rock on Jan 18, be sure to check out the author talk and book signing by my friend, author, art historian, and host of ArtCurious, Jennifer Dasal at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Art as she shares unexpected stories from the lives of artists and the work they create. This unique Artist Talk offers a new way to access and think about artwork through different lenses, contexts, cultural connections, and lesser-known moments in history. As an artist and art educator, I can't recommend this wonderful book enough.
Art historian Jennifer Dasal is the creator and host of the ArtCurious Podcast, an internationally popular, bi-weekly show exposing “the unexpected, the slightly odd, and the strangely wonderful in art history.”
Dasal is the former curator of modern and contemporary art at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA), where she worked for thirteen years.
