There's a Zombie in the Basement

“If Dr. Seuss and Tim Burton got together to write a book, this would be it.”

Welcome to the project page for my picture book, “There’s a Zombie in the Basement”, inspired my son’s fear of my artwork.

Milo won’t fall asleep because he thinks the monsters in the basement are gonna get him. And, if he can’t get to sleep, no one will. Mom and Dad better hope his wild imagination doesn’t get the best of him!
