"Flood" is my forthcoming graphic novella about two butches in a band, Jack and Ed, who find their friendship tested by a painful world. I'm so excited for it to be something people can experience soon.

Part of what I enjoy about creating time period specific work is the research about historical dress. While I am by no means aiming for full historical accuracy, it's a fun challenge to aim to costume characters based in specific times. This graphic novel takes place in the early 1950s.
Additional concept art of two more characters: Ronald Barnes and Floyd Brennan.
