had so much fun collaborating with @bostoncomicarts.bsky.social on this interactive comic just in time for @wbur.org fest!
a series of black and white magnetic comic panels in rows on a black board. The panels display a range of subjects from sound effects to close ups on hands doing activities to Boston scenes such as the T and swan boats. In the background there is a brick path, grass, and a tent. A foldable way finding sign on the grass points to food trucks. Jillian smiles standing next to two black boards with magnetic comic panels mounted on stands. They are under a large square tent and to their left is a table with a tote bag on top. A close up of the row of the black and white magnetic panels. On them hands complete various activities, a pigeon with four eyes consumes pizza, a door reads closed, soup simmers

ISO: urban legends & local icons for an upcoming comic strip with the Boston Compass!

The strip will focus on local characters and tall tales -- anything from beloved critters to opera-singing landlords to a haunted bagel

If something (or someone) comes to mind, I’d love to hear from you!
Text reads: ISO: urban legends & local icons. Below the text: a cartoon line drawing of a smiling Bigfoot eating watermelon at a table with bowls of food on it. To his left a dog barks joyfully. A shining sun pokes out from behind trees and shrubs behind them.

some doodles from a local festival!
A hand holds a sketchbook outside, in the background there are musicians on stage. On the sketchbook there are drawings of people participating in festival activities including maypole, juggling sticks, performing in a band. Below two panels there is text: “a fist full of dandelions” “a box of seedlings”

Some pages from Share Content!
The inside spread of a quarter page zine. A women on a laptop looks out a window. Across from her she sees a similar woman on a laptop surrounded by a grid showing pieces of a room with different decor. The window frame of the other woman reads “while imagining what lies beyond your frame” A spread of a quarter page zine. On the left page vellum layers leaves of a maple tree. On the right a small piece of paper is divided in two squares. The left square has an eye closed, the right has an eye open. Beneath a quarter size page shows a house with a couch and box in front. The couch has a sign that says Free. A spread of a quarter page zine. On the left, a woman looks out her window while doing dishes. Typed text below her reads “better now?.”On the right the page unfolds vertically revealing two hands doing dishes. The top one on the left is young and holds a sponge. The bottom on the right is old and holds an older set of plates with flowers. Cursive text reads “I want to ask/how are the piano lessons?/does the dog keep you up at night too?” A quarter page zine spread of two sheets of vellum paper each with the outline of tree branches and leaves. A small piece of paper sandwiched between them reads “there’s a lag.” in typed text.

dropped off some homemade stickers at the local art exchange!
A hand holding three stickers, a fish with legs wearing a cowboy hat, a moth with meat wings, a cat with a taco body. In the background there is a front yard with a small wood box with a window on poles. Drawings on paper hang inside the box.
