I've been working on this off and on (mostly off) for 3 or 4 weeks. I think it finally feels done. Mostly composed in MS Paint, with a few after effects/added text in Canva.

What a lovely idea. One of mine from a while ago (a slightly different version than the first time I shared it).

New business cards came in!

Weird? Yes.

Do I love them even moreso due to the aforementioned weirdness?

Also yes.

Inspired by the Hoffman Estates Zinefest I attended this past weekend, I put together a zine myself! It's called "Eyesore", which highlights 6 haiku that I wrote with the common subject matter of eyes, fun little project. Can't wait to do a few more!

We had a such a fantastic day meeting other creative people and interacting with such giving and wonderful souls. Hoffman Estates first Zine Fest was for sure a success and we were happy to be a part of it!

What a beautiful day! Hit up a NoKings protest&spent a wonderful day at the Hoffman Estates Zine Fest. Being around supportive and creative people gives me real hope that maybe we aren't so boned after all.
