owen pallett - 'fire-mare' music video premiere
thrilled to premiere the second Owen Pallett video i made! thanks again to Owen for having me on, for being a dream collaborator, and for trusting me to bring visuals to the world of Spectrum. we hope to do more of these at some point. hope you enjoy ‘Fire-Mare’. xox
koyama press provides grant
i’ve been announced as the recipient of a Koyama Press Provides grant! i’ll be putting this towards the printing costs of a new comic next year. ❤️🖤 seeing the Koyama Press table at my first TCAF in 2010 gave me a push to take making comics more seriously, and made me excited to live in Toronto. publishing a book with Annie years later was a dream come true. being able to count her as a mentor and friend, maybe even more so. though it’s sad to see KP wind down this year, i’m thrilled to see the KP Provides program take off. i guess...i better...get to work!!
owen pallett - 'paragon of order' music video premiere
very excited to share Paragon of Order, the first of two music videos i’ve illustrated for Owen Pallett off their new LP Island. huge thanks to Owen for having me on board!

getting through today
for this week’s issue of NOW, i put together the cover, and a new two-page comic called Getting Through Today, which is available online. it was challenging finding a way to reflect on something that’s unfolding and changing so quickly, but i’m proud of how it came together in the end. i hope you enjoy, and that it can bring you some moments of levity. big thanks to Daniel and Kevin for their direction.
britney jean 2116
as a little treat for you all during these strange, indoorsy days, i’ve decided to share a short comic of mine from a few years back! “Britney Jean 2116” originally appeared in Babybel Wax Bodysuit (which somehow got nominated for an Eisner!). i’m still fond of this story, and would love to expand it into something larger someday. hope you enjoy!
