Theia Book Club!
October 11th, 2023 I could not have asked for a better book club. What a group of insightful, caring, vulnerable, funny, brilliant people (and a dog named Theo!). Usually when a friend or family member tells me how they feel or what they thought about a book of mine, I usually get a “I likedContinue reading “Theia Book Club!”
DURRY!
September 9th, 2023 This is my Durry Appreciation Post ™️, and if even one lucky person discovers them through it then I have fulfilled my civic duty to this country and you’re welcome. I found the band last winter on my favorite radio station, The Current. I heard one of their songs and thought: “Oh.Continue reading “DURRY!”

The Weirdos, Part VII: The Universe is Bigger Than God
August 30th, 2023 I didn’t finish college (obvs) and I don’t believe in God (sorry, fam), and The Weirdos is what it is because of it. I quit college three quarters in. I frequently tell people that making this graphic novel was my education; most art students have to do a final project, and it’sContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part VII: The Universe is Bigger Than God”
The Weirdos, Part VI: Black & White Issues, Blacklisting, and a Technicolor Graphic Novel
August 29th, 2023 The Weirdos is about being a part of something that gives you meaning, something that could save your life. Once I was solidly standing on sober feet, I wanted to be a member of the artistic community as soon as I possibly could. It’s the reason I decided to produce The WeirdosContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part VI: Black & White Issues, Blacklisting, and a Technicolor Graphic Novel”
The Weirdos, Part V: The Wait
August 28th, 2023 Das wasn’t supposed to be a Weirdo. The Wait actually started out as a comic book about the restaurant industry, after years of people telling me that I should write about the experience, which explains its title and setting. It was a separate thing altogether, until I realized that I had writtenContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part V: The Wait”

FIGHT!
August 21st, 2023 I look like an idiot. I haven’t been on my usual bullshit lately, writing about my messy emotions or mental health, or about politics or the climate or philosophy or grief or sobriety. It’s not that I don’t think about these things anymore; they’re all I think about, the things that keepContinue reading “FIGHT!”
The Weirdos, Part III: Art So Terrible It Almost Looks Human
August 15th, 2022 Do you ever wake up and wonder what’s real? When I was a kid, I always dreamed of having my own comic book; as an adult, when I began creating it, I was determined to “do it the right way.” Paper. Pencils. Ink. Lots of coffee. Of course, there is no rightContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part III: Art So Terrible It Almost Looks Human”
