I was recently asked to be on the podcast The Spark, from our local Nashville library! We talk about comic stuff, how I got into it, and random Pokemon opinions.

Oddity Woods is a mystery/paranormal graphic novel that follows a girl detective and her journey to escape a ghostly world, while also solving the many mysteries behind it. Some more pages I like! (available now in bookstores!!!)

Redrew an older illustration from 2016! Chapter 2 was one of the more difficult things I've written (so far), but I hope everyone enjoys the murder mystery dinner party. > : )
