Just wondering if your question in Monkey Truck was answered. Husband & I read to sons who just adored the book and after reading dedication we’re both curious ;o)

I bought a game “Ick” @ the MOMA years ago strictly based on the art on the outside of the box. Really fun game, but I LOVE the illustration of all the icky monsters! Fast-forward 4 years…. I just ran across the “Ghoulish Goodies” cookbook and was so excited to see your work again! (Recognizing it instantly) So now I’m looking for more of your work! Thank you for sharing your sketchy, crusty, delicately icky creatures!
