The Ley Lines series, published by Czap Books and Grindstone Comics, is nominated for an IGNATZ AWARD this year! Czap Books has put up all four Ley Lines books that came out this year to read for free on their website, including my little book about surrealism, issue 13.
These will only be online for free for a little while and I hope you can read them! This series has been consistently some of the most inventive and interesting work I’ve seen in comics. I distinctly remember talking to L several years ago about the idea that would become this series, and it’s lovely to have been following along in that process and to have the opportunity to make one of these books myself.
GREAT NOMINEES this year for the Ignatz Awards, the only comics awards I will probably ever care about. respect & admiration to the independent comics weirdos; see you at SPX
Working on a book in the Ley Lines series, broadly about my relationship to the Surrealist movement and some related ideas. Coming out late this year. You can purchase a subscription and previous books in the series here! These are some of my favorite things being made in independent comics right now: beautiful and personal and unlike anything else.
This is a little promotional image reflecting the approach I want to take visually but I haven’t actually drawn the comic yet
Hello–
Here is a strange drawing that is a part of a book I’m doing with Ley Lines, which will be about my relationship to the surrealist and visionary in art. I think it will be out late this year.
Finished the art for my book in the Ley Lines series, called “Weird Territory.” A sort of visual essay on what I have read into Surrealism.
It’ll be out late this year! Love this series, very happy to be able to make one.

Published a rambling & reckless essay about Surrealism and perception on Medium, spun out of an interest in reworking these characters I drew a lot in elementary school.
I got interviewed by inkstuds! About comics and not-comics!
The last preview from this book! Here’s three non-consecutive spreads from “Weird Territory,” a visual essay about my relationship to Surrealism, published in the Ley Lines series in 2017.
Mere Vibration is a collection of five comics about contacting the unknown and exploring mysterious places, using a variety of visual and narrative styles.
I drew half of the new issue of the Adventure Time comic Candy Capers, written by Yuko Ota and Ananth Panagariya. A little preview is up here.
I love the surrealism of Adventure Time and think I did pretty well at doing my own thing with that angle. There are some nods to Bosch and Dalí, which seemed a little appropriate???? also jokes about butts??? This is my first comic of a licensed property and the widest print circulation of anything I’ve ever done!
It is in stores TODAY
