It’s spring here, which unfortunately has meant seasonal allergies and ominous heatwaves. Was pretty busy but mostly doing behind the scenes prep so didn’t share a lot of art these past 2 months:

Thanks to everyone who stopped by at my past couple shows! My next ones will be:

• Stationery Fest (NY) - Jul 30-Aug 1

• Anime NYC (NY) - Aug 20-23

• Small Press Expo (MD) - Sep 12-13

Kind of a grab bag… was not expecting ANYC… 2026 is my year of trying every possible category of vaguely print related show I guess. I do try to curate stock depending on specific shows / space but if you’re not sure if I’ll have something at a particular event I’m happy to figure out pickup orders, just email me.

Will try to have my online store open again for June! Some other life events have come up so I’m behind on opening… but keep an eye out for an email about it in the next week or two.

If you’re in Seattle and missed SABF, you can get some of my work (Acrophobia, Skinning, + Formless Formless zines, + mouth + uncertain riso prints) at the Paper Pushers zine store pop-up run by the Seattle Printers Guild. And if they happen to be out of stock you can still check out a lot of other artists’ books + zines + prints!

Want to also mention: I’m not personally tabling but once again I’ll be helping out at Brooklyn Art Book Fair (July 10-12) - if you’re in NYC you should stop by, admission is free.

I got a kodak charmera end of last year with a friend as a “surviving another year” gift for myself and it’s been fun taking tiny lowres pics with it. Here’s a view from the plane to Seattle…
