IT’S SO COLD 🌬️

This is a little zine I made for an arts event happening this week- we are giving out goody bags to the students attending and there’s cute collage making kits in them… the office wanted folks running the workshops to make a few example zines - details under the cut

It’s been 8 years

I grieve my dad every day

A part of why I hesitated to take t was because I was worried I would begin to look and sound like my dad- which has been partially true- but it’s been very rewarding to live my life for myself and find this deeper connection with him even though he isn’t here

Some days are easier than others, some days are a lot harder- grieving isn’t linear and I’ll spend the rest of my life grieving. I carry him wherever I go and I do my best to live my life to the fullest in his honour

Last night a few folks and I had the lovely opportunity to go into the archives of the Museum of Natural History in Halifax, Nova Scotia to draw! My favourites were the holotypes (not pictured) and the early amphibian prints. I also adored seeing their tiny but mighty salmon collection (of course) :-)

BIG thanks to Veronica Post, The Comics Creators Society of Nova Scotia, Curator of Geology Tim Fedak and Curator of Zoology Brenna Fraiser. It was truly special!

Comic I made for @csidezine @reppingforsplatlands ! 💚

Had a lot of fun making this! I played with screentones for the first time and tried to force myself to get out of my comfort zone with panel composition :-)

My comic, Upstream, made as part of my 2025 thesis work at The Center for Cartoon Studies. It is a 30 page accordion bound comic about a salmon and a bear refusing to do what is expected of them. You can read it HERE. 18+ only. The physical book was made to try and replicate the body of a salmon. Photos of the book are down below.
