Hello! Welcome to the blog portion of this website. To start things off, I thought I would share a little bit about my goals for tabling and selling my work this year!
Last year, I went to so many cons both with my school (California College of the Arts) and on my own! As a result I went to Dink, Scranton Zine Fest, The Women in Comics Convention (Brooklyn, NY), Silver Sprocket Zine fest (San Francisco, CA), SPX, and the People’s Market (People’s Forum, NYC). I’ve been tabling for years, but this was the first time I ever attended ANY of those cons, and being part of the small-press/zine community has been so fulfilling! There’s such a welcome attitude for fresh, new, indie work, and people get so excited about the stories I want to tell. Potato Chips has been a solid seller for those who want some relatable empathy-driven content, and the excitement I’m getting from young readers for Merboy is so fulfilling. And I have a few friends who have been telling me how anxious they are to finally read GLITCH #1 after hearing me talk about it for so long.
So now, I’m about to start the new con season, and I am so excited to keep making work. Here’s some of my goals:
Make Potato Chips #3
Make Merboy #2
Get Glitch Issue #1 fully finished (it’s over halfway done!)
Make some more slice-of-life zines that are more accessible, price-wise
Find a way to make RISO prints
Make new enamel pins and stickers that compliment my comics!
All of these goals are underway in some form or another, but I really hope this is new work I’ll be debuting this fall, since I’ll be done with my MFA work as well.
What project are you most excited for? Drop me a comment here or on social and let me know!
Happy 2019 y’all, I hope you have an amazing SPRING!
