Including graphic novels like BUBBLE, children’s books like LETS GET SLEEPY, comics for the FLIGHT anthologies, and more!
Illustration and Animation
A portfolio of sorts, including vintage-style travel poster illustration, animation design, and a host of assorted other delights.
Delilah Dirk, Book Four.
Practical Defence Against Piracy, the latest book in the series, is being made right now. I’m taking a different creative approach for this book, because it’s time to change some things up. For that reason (and others), the process has been an exciting ride. If you’d like to join me for it, please do.
I’ll be making the process public as I go, and you can follow along in a myriad of ways:
Start reading the book right now, either on DelilahDirk.com, on Webtoon, Tapas, or Tumblr.

Bubble!
Available in-store from July 14, 2021.
Within a hermetically-sealed, corporate-controlled “Bubble,” a group of unlikely friends struggle against incursions of alien imps and the vagaries of the app-based gig economy. Based on the podcast of the same name, BUBBLE is sweet, heartfelt, and very, very violent. Written by Jordan Morris and Sarah Morgan, adapted and illustrated by myself, with vibrant colour by Natalie Riess.
Full colour, 272 pages, published by First Second Books.
Extremely not-for-children.

Let’s Get Sleepy!
Out now and perfect for the two-to-seven year old in your life, Let’s Get Sleepy is a seek-and-find whirlwind tour of locales familiar and strange. Sleepy, the Mouse-Prince of the Night-time and Master of Dreams, has disappeared. He was here last night, but now he’s gone. Follow along with our brave cats as they live a day full of exploration and discovery as they attempt once again to get Sleepy.
Let’s Get Sleepy is a warm, detail-packed story about the value of appreciating the journey, rather than fixating on the goal.
