We're just trying to keep our options open! 😅 😎 Here's my collab cartoon with humorist @miriamjayaratna.bsky.social !

Black and white cartoon of two women walking in a park. One is saying "I just feel like I"m at that awkward age where I'm too young to retire, but too old to get kidnapped."

I had a fantastic time last weekend @smallpressexpo.bsky.social ! Thank you so much to the organizers. SPX puts wind in my sails to keep drawing comics and keep going even when it is hard. Thanks also to my table mates @ghostlysloth.bsky.social, @jadepagecraft.bsky.social and @ruemxu.bsky.social ❤️

Here is a snippet of some of the work I'll have at my table @smallpressexpo.bsky.social this weekend, stop by to take a look! #zines #comics

Photograph of a printed zine titled "Job Market Report"

Cartoon panel of military-looking people with t-squares and rulers, saying "We're from the coalition of Concerned Graphic Designers... Your typography is terrible and must be stopped."

Cartoon panel of a body in shades of blue, climbing over a rock. Voice over says "Well, this is my experience right now."

Cartoon page of a table at a gift shop, featuring "Tiny cacti that will not survive on your kitchen counter", Sunglasses, "Rose Quartz for spiritual closet cleansing", Kokopelli statuettes, Sunscreen, and T-Shirts that say "It's a Dry Heat"

I'll be at the Small Press Expo this Saturday and Sunday in Bethesda, MD. Find me at table H6! I've been feverishly preparing for months 😅... I'll have a bunch of zines, stickers, etc to sell, plus an all-new minicomic! 🥳🤖 (More to come on that soon) @smallpressexpo.bsky.social

My first cartoon published in Narrative Magazine this month! Thanks to editors Matt and Mimi. See the full carousel of great cartoons here: www.narrativemagazine.com/issues/sprin... @narrativemag.bsky.social

Black and white cartoon of two houseplants looking out the window at the rain. One house plant says to the other "it's not fair, they all get a drink."

Today, @emenez2.bsky.social and I have a piece in the LA Times Op-Comic section. She wrote it and I made the drawings. I'm really pleased with how it turned out! www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... @latimes.com

Op-comic: A personal case against eliminating the penny

President Trump said he would direct the Treasury to stop making pennies. I immediately thought of my late grandmother.

It's me, but joining a new social media platform!

Cartoon of two women getting ready to go out for the evening. One woman is slumped in a chair, saying "Extrovert me made the plans, but introvert me woke up this morning."
