Welcome to the New Year! Things feel great right now.
Just finished and am about to go to print with a new 24pg comic, which I'll be taking with me to NYC next week! It is hopefully the first issue of a series.
I'll be putting up some photos from New Year's Eve at Holocene where I had some glowing rainbow stalagmites set up!
Other than that, look forward to the next Work For Free in which Paul and I will have met up again in real life to collaborate on!
Other than that I've just been drumming, painting, and appreciating the simplicity of my current lifestyle.

Positivity remains. And, the new issue of Work For Free is coming out today!

Well, I'm officially back in the States. It was such a strange transition as I'm already perfectly comfortable and everything that has been the last four months is just like a surreal vision of the past.
Anyway, now that I've set up a stable camp for a while, I'm trying to start my Etsy store back up! Maybe you want to get something for the holidays?

New projects. Paul and I just finished the cover for the Willamette Week's annual "Finder," an epic guide to Portland. I was also privileged to work on the art for one of Explode into Color's 3 7inches coming out this summer. It's called "Coffins." Both of these were photographic pieces primarily with built details. I really am loving extending my work into the tangible world.
I will be having a table at the Zine Symposium with year at PSU, with a whole lotta zines, comics, and art! Come by July 24/25.

It's an amazing month. I finished a new comic just in time for Portland's Stumptown Comics Fest, had a birthday, gave my Thesis Oral for my BFA, and am planning a follow up show to our thesis (love poems) called Night Poems. Spring is also in full bloom with shifts between eighty degrees and sunny and fifty degrees with hail and rain the next day!
Oh the northwest...
So, updates are happening. I will be adding all of the missing thesis work photos in, and I changed out some "drawings" and "sequential" work.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy of my new comic YES ($4) or a copy of Paul Wagenblast and mine's finished Love Poems book, please get in contact!

I've been isolated in the outskirts of Olympia for a week crafting! Unfortunately these crafts are not what I need for my upcoming shows...

First Thursday opening at Ponyclub in the everett street lofts. All the drawings are themed to be small, black/white plus one color. Group show.
