The Cardboard Kingdom: Snow & Sorcery is out TODAY! It's the final volume in the trilogy, and I am so thrilled and thankful for the work of the entire writing team: Vid Alliger, Manuel Betancourt, David DeMeo, Jay Fuller-Ng, Barbara Perez Marquez, Katie Schenkel, & Jasmine Walls!

@LibraryKirkL I so appreciate this! Sorry that I didn't see it until now--I'm mostly on Bluesky these days (same screenname). But hearing all your thoughts on the book means so much! Thank you!

@proteidaes @megthebrennan @johnbgallagher @colleenaf It was great meeting you and drawing together!!

Going completely overboard DMing my first DnD campaign and drawing the player characters, NPCs, and monsters! (And loving every minute of it) @Wizards_DnD

This Wednesday, I'll be doing a presentation for @KidsComicsUnite on one of my favorite cartooning topics: LINE! Yes, it will be as nerdy as it sounds! Get tickets here: https://t.co/hXvr3RZf6M

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

@valoko Hi! I consider Doodleville to be a duology (doodle-ology?)--I told the whole story that I wanted to tell! So I don't have plans for a doodleville 3! But thanks for asking!

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

Today, Doodleville: Art Attacks is out! It's a story about kids in an art museum where all the paintings come to life in a mind-bending trip through the deepest, darkest parts of my own imagination. https://t.co/eYzdQJOWJ4

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

@SquidMantis Ahhh! Thanks so much for sharing those amazing drawings! It's so fantastic seeing my little doodles find such lovely new homes! I'm so glad that your kids liked the book!

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

I'll be at @wesrjjulia this Saturday, July 13 at 4pm for some reading, drawing, and signing! I'm hoping some creative kids will help me design some brand new SUPERVILLAINS!

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

In “Born to be Bad,” Switcheroo is being hunted down by the proteges of his greatest hero, Vin Valor! They're the top students from the Valor Innovations Academy, and they’ve each invented their own power armor! Who’s your favorite?? @marywinnheider @randomhousekids @KnopfBFYR

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

One of my favorite characters that you’ll meet in "Born to be Bad" is Beth, an enormous creature with a lot of tentacles and a warm smile. Plus, she makes killer brownies! @marywinnheider @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

@Bedemeister Thanks so much, John!

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

While working on Born to be Bad, @marywinnheider wrote some HILARIOUS stuff for Slimeball, because she knows he's my fave character to draw! You'll seriously need to read it to believe it! 🤣 @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

So, in our new book, @marywinnheider came up with a robot dog for our cute pufferfish kid, Tooter. She named him Scooter because she's a mad genius. #tooterandscooter #bestfriendsforever @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

When we were developing characters for The Stupendous Switcheroo: Born to be Bad, I told @marywinnheider about a cute lizard girl I used to draw. It was such a delight to see Komoda take on whole new dimensions throughout the book. Who knew she’d love cats?? Certainly not me!!

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

One of my favorite things about working on The Stupendous Switcheroo: Born to be Bad was drawing its huge, hilarious cast of characters. There is truly nothing I love more than designing giant lizard girls and tiny bat boys!🤣 @marywinnheider @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

Every morning, the Stupendous Switcheroo wakes up with a new power, whether he likes it or not! Some days they’re super, some days they’re silly. Get ready for a whole lot of hijinks in Book 2: Born to be Bad! @marywinnheider @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids

[Chad Sell @chadsell01]

THE STUPENDOUS SWITCHEROO: Born to be Bad is out TODAY! The second book in our series completely twists things around as Switcheroo teams up with a villainous new crew for an epic jailbreak!! @marywinnheider @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids
