ECCC Day 1: What a wonderful surprise.

As I sat at my booth yesterday, a young lady - probably the same age as my son - came up to me and handed me this picture. We hadn't met before, but she had been watching and drawing me from across the room while I talked with kids and their parents.

I was truly struck by her kind gesture and her amazing art skills too. Abe, if you see this, thank you for making my day!

Thank you for an incredible year! 2026 is shaping up to be my biggest yet with huge shows, multiple new projects and much, much more! Stay tuned for some big announcements!
