Mysterious Goings On

What happens when one person wears the hats of author, illustrator, AND designer? You get a book like The Mystery of A Nubbins—a richly imagined adventure that feels like it stepped straight out of the Golden Age of Illustration.In this episode, I sit down with W.S. Wiist, who brings three decades of creative experience to his dream project. We talk about:✅ How childhood wonder shaped The Mystery of A Nubbins ✅ The Brandywine School of Illustration and why it still inspires him✅ His creative mentors ✅ How he balances writing, art, and design to create a single seamless experienceWe also get into the Indiegogo campaign that’s helping bring A Nubbins to life for more readers—and why this book is more than just a story, it’s an experience.
