Finished reading the Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind manga earlier this year and unsurprisingly liked it a lot… some extremely rare fanart from me.

8×10in
4 color risograph print (cornflower, bright olive green, bright red, hunter green)

Made a new zine "Waiting" - a selection of observational sketches from 2024-2025 drawn while trying to pass time, featuring various meals, trains, theaters, backs of tables at events, etc. Originally done with various fountain pens + inks and reproduced in riso (I tried to match the riso ink colors to the original ink colors). You can see some better quality (maybe) images on my site.

32 pages
5.5×7 in
Risograph printed with black, hunter green, + bright olive green ink

Also, for anyone interested in my riso process… I’ve put up an edited version of one of my recent monthly print process posts on my site.

other news etc ✷

Thanks to everyone who stopped by at MoCCA fest! My next shows so far will be:

• Greenpointers Spring Market (NY) - Apr 12 (will mostly have prints here)

• Other Islands Book Fair (NY) - Apr 25-26 (will mostly have books here)

• Seattle Art Book Fair (WA) - May 9-10

• Stationery Fest (NY) - Jul 30-Aug 1

• Small Press Expo (MD) - Sep 12-13

Have heard good things about SABF + will be in Seattle for essentially the first time so excited for that.

Unfortunately though currently dealing with some possible health stuff that I suspect is from some combo of never really recovering my previous energy levels after getting covid last summer + months of work crunch made worse by the long hours working MoCCA weekend… My work is definitely not as physically demanding as, say, friends working multiple part time jobs and I’m pretty good at sticking to a sleep schedule so I thought I’d be fine but alas…

Did have to make the decision to drop a show :’( so once I’m back from SABF until July-ish I will be trying to have more work/life balance. This does mean that instead I’ll probably try to have my online store open then… (or keep an eye out for some smaller local markets)… we shall see…

Bonus… preview of some riso stickers… originally supposed to be for Stationery Fest so will be posting in full later but did a test run at MoCCA… thanks if you got a sheet :’)
