COMICS, ZINES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS




CONTAMINATION COMIC
2026
Contamination is a 33-page silent comic that explores the tension between imagined obsessions, denial through everyday compulsions, and acceptance through both its narrative and book format. Inspired by the spot from Macbeth is a comic about a mark that grows and overwhelms the person until it becomes too real for them to clean off of them. This comic was printed with bright red and blue riso ink on transparent vellum and 167gsm paper.




When I look at you... COMIC
2026
When I look at you... is a sapphic cowboy zine with a poem about running away from love yet coming back to it again and again helplessly. Printed with Brown, Bright Red, Yellow, and Cornflower ink on 167gsm vellum Cream paper. 


POEM:
When I look at you...
I want to run away from your embrace
I'd like to leave you broken and pining for me...
Yet here I am bending over for you
waiting for you to come over
to trample over me
as if I was nothing to you
like the worthless insect I am
