1 page zine - The Star
The Star was created to be printed on a single sheet of 8.5x11" printer paper and folded into a mini-zine. This one is based on the star Tarot card, which both the front and back cover are references to.
Apple Picking (excerpt)
This is a five-page excerpt from my October 2020 comic project, Apple Picking. I posted one page per day for the month of October. For Apple Picking, I chose to focus on themes of neurodivergence and how much easier the world is to navigate with a good support system. Or, in more cliché terms, the power of friendship!!!

1 page zine - Excalibur
Excalibur was created to be printed on a single sheet of 8.5x11" printer paper and folded into a mini-zine. I drew the comic traditionally, scanned it, then colored it digitally.
Parrots
Parrots is a mini-comic I wrote based (extremely) loosely on the first time I saw wild parrots while walking around Eagle Rock in the summer of 2017. I also got to ask myself the very fun question "If I could have wished for anything at the time, what would it be?"
1 page zine - NEON
NEON was created to be printed on a single sheet of 8.5x11" printer paper and folded into a mini-zine. I enjoy working with limitations, like small dimensions, because they force me to be creative about my final product.
Breakfast in Bed
Breakfast in Bed is a good example of two of my favorite things to explore in my comics: limited palates and food! I wanted to make something short, sweet and warm, moving through very familiar actions in the kitchen.
Thrifting
Thrifting is my rumination on what a positive shopping experience looks like as a transgender person. I included my shopping essentials: a cheap, low-stakes environment and a good friend who understands what your dysphoria/euphoria looks like. I also experimented with blank speech bubbles. Their placement and size is intentional to reflect the characters personalities and conversational flow. But, since this is my exploration of a generic transgender experience, I wanted readers to be able to project as much of their own experience onto this zine as possible. Also, you can't often hear the specifics of a stranger's conversation while walking through a store, you can just hear that they're talking. The reader can be the characters in the comic and the other shoppers in the thrift store!
