‘The Invitation’ and New Story

2022-23, 8 Pages (16 when completed)
The Invitation is a lesbian love story about a stud woman who uses magic to turn water into plants prepares for a date with her butch co-worker. 

The comic was originally desinged with scrolling format of the web in mind, and adapted for print by making it a small accordian book. I would like to update the comic and am working on an additonal story about the same two characters on the back. The story is to be completed by the end of the summer. 

‘The Tall Bike’ 

8.5” x 5.5”, 12 pages. Originally drawn in 2021 with new art and formatting in 2024.

A brief memoir in which I recall riding behind my brother when he took his neon orange tall bike out for the first time. I reflect on the way my brother and my relationship to the bike has changed in the final new pages.

Due to the unique nature of the color neon orange, I hand color every book and hand sew it with neon orange binding. 

‘Tall Bike: Liminal Evening ’

6.5” x 5.5” (up to 44” long fully opened)
14 pages. 2021, scanned monotype prints.

Tall Bike: Liminal Evening, is a sibling comic to ‘The Tall Bike’ started from a series of screenshots I took of a video call from my brother while he filmed from atop his Tall Bike, giving me a digital experience from his point of view.

The bizarre fragmentation from the screenshots has a liminal aura - my brother was also into the concept of liminal spaces at the time - which inspired me to translate as many as I could into monotype print; the medium further fragmenting and transforming the images.

Tall Bike Liminal Evening was originally created on monotype in 2021, and officially exhibited as a book with 11 x 11 inch reprints of the prints in 2022. The book was resized and reprinted with a new introduction in 2024. 

  ‘Untitled Bike Memoir’ 

An in-progress memoir about a bike trail that runs through Neenah, Menasha, Clayton, and other parts of rural Wisconsin. I explore the ephmeral nature of memory with graphite and the more concrete photos and films I had taken while biking the trail with colored pencil. I also explore dealing with body dysphoria, disability, and how these things changed and stayed the same over time. 

Each book is printed and hand bound by Emz. 

‘Ghost Prints’, 2022

Ghost Prints is a surreal 60 page memoir about having deja vu four times over a short span of time while dealing with the stresses of being a student, COVID, depression, and caught in between family troubles. It’s name comes from the effect of drawing on newsprint, wherein the light from the scan caused the “Ghost Prints” of the previous pages to shine through.
