HELLO MY NAME IS DALLAS CLAYTON. This is all you need to know to understand what goes on here: I try to make things that are beautiful. Sometimes these things are written down. Sometimes they are drawn. Sometimes they are wrapped and plastic and sold in important stores for more money than they cost to manufacture. I love making most things. I am most interested in making people happy. I have a son who is six years old.

I enjoy making him happy most of all. I would like to do this more and more every day forever. This is why I write for children. When I am not writing for children I am writing for adults and the companies adults run, drawing pictures for those adults, and reading things out loud to crowds of strangers. I love strangers.
