Recent Projects
Naked and Afraid of Long COVID
Long COVID and other chronic conditions - ME/CFS, chronic Lyme, autoimmunity, etc. - have gained attention and recognition over the last decade, but are still often discounted as fanciful, incomprehensible, and/or psychosomatic phenomena by the general public. This 20-page autobio comic aims to demystify the experience of chronic illness using the popular reality television program “Naked and Afraid” as metaphor, pointing out humorous and unexpected parallels between the experience of survivalists in the wild and the daily reality of a disabled sick person.
The Bird and the Fish
This children’s book - my first! - tells the friendship story of a salmon and a cormorant who, despite inhabiting different worlds, form a deep connection and experience many adventures together. Drawing inspiration from timeless pieces like “The Missing Piece” by Shel Silverstein and “The Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister, this book aims to teach young readers the importance of staying true to oneself and embracing transition while also honoring past relationships and experience.
Erode
A 46-page graphic novella about three detectives investigating the circumstances surrounding a young man’s mysterious transformation from flesh-and-blood boy to sentient sandstone. Existentialist mystery fiction with a splash of magical realism.
50 Days
50 pen and ink illustrations inspired by a road trip through the American West, featuring scenes from Idaho, Oregon, California, Utah, and Colorado.
