Call to Water

In Spring 2025, I set out to accomplish one of my biggest goals—writing and illustrating my own book. I wrote about William Mulholland and the water wars of Los Angeles.

To bring Mulholland and his story to life, I immersed myself in research: reading countless history books, digging through the Los Angeles Archives for authentic documents, and even tracking down exact news articles from specific dates. I even visited the Million Dollar Theater -- once home to Mulholland’s office during his time as superintendent of the LA Water Department to capture an accurate reference of the building’s exterior. It was a challenging journey, but an incredibly rewarding one. I had so much fun writing this story, and I hope you enjoy reading it just as much!
