December 16th, 2025 I may have mentioned this once or twice before but I am a very anxious person. I am a tragically empathetic sponge (which my drinking used to magically squeeze) and a standard-issue artist; I feel too much and when the world feels like too much my brain crosses streets like a squirrel.Continue reading “Cat Mom”

We Shine Together
November 5th, 2025 I don’t know if I’ve ever been this stressed out in my life. There’s a part of me that wants to be cute about this and call it my iceberg era; you can see my head treading above water but nobody knows the size and intensity of the sea monster just beneathContinue reading “We Shine Together”
Darkroom
May 31st, 2025 I’ve been wondering why life has felt so chaotic and fast lately and then realized I wasn’t writing much of it down. Not here. I haven’t been processing correctly. Instead of developing my memories and experiences in a quiet darkroom, investigating their details and exploring their mysteries as they slowly materialize, I’veContinue reading “Darkroom”
Equivoque
February 15th, 2025 Do you want to learn a fun sleight-of-hand trick that can reveal a fraud close to you? It’s super neat and I can teach you myself. This isn’t going to be an enjoyable post but it is an essential one. This will help explain where everybody stands. We don’t have to getContinue reading “Equivoque”
Tell Me Something Good
August 3rd, 2024 Dudes. I don’t know if you’ve been on this planet (and this internet) for the past week but has it not been just fucking brutal? It’s been hard to keep with the idiotic, ignorant, and hateful discourse; it’s been difficult to be a compassionate, empathetic human among those being less than. MyContinue reading “Tell Me Something Good”
Flip: Dream a Little Dream of Me
October 19th, 2023 I have never been a religious person. But that’s not to say I’ve never believed in anything. When I was growing up, there was no shortage of things I thought were real but could never prove: aliens, ghosts, mutants, Bigfoot, vampires, time travel. I would spend entire days at the library (thisContinue reading “Flip: Dream a Little Dream of Me”
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”
“Faribault famous”
August 2nd, 2023 I did a neat thing last week and it’s out today: the Faribault Daily News published a feature on me + my life + my work! You can check it out on their website at faribault dot com and of course I have some behind-the-scenes tea for you! – Pam and IContinue reading ““Faribault famous””
Cold World: Building a house you can live in as is, with doors and stairways to expand up, down, or sideways
June 30th, 2023 Everything about Cold World was, for me, too big to contain in one story — whether I ever decide to write any of those other stories or not. I knew that I wanted to tell a complete, specific tale: this chapter of Calef’s life as he explores the power of understanding, throughContinue reading “Cold World: Building a house you can live in as is, with doors and stairways to expand up, down, or sideways”
Cold World: Faith & Spirituality
June 16th, 2023 “It’s not that I don’t believe in anything. I just haven’t found the thing that makes sense to me yet.” That’s how I usually answer the question of whether I’m religious or believe in God. The formal term is agnostic; I learned that the difference between being agnostic or atheist is thatContinue reading “Cold World: Faith & Spirituality”
