Zine Preview

Enjoy a lil' preview of a few pages from my in-progress zine!

Take a page out of my book #2

After 3 years of putting it off I finally invested in a printer/scanner/copier and I am having a ball! Here's an update from my good ol' sketchbook!

The Soldier and the Lady

"Why do you always feel so inevitable to me?"

Things that make you feel

'I loved you and you loved me. And that was a good thing. And now it's changed. Consider yourself free' - six feet under

Fear And Loathing In Philadelphia

I am new again, wether I like it or not. I have spent the majority of my life  harboring fear over getting trapped in my homeland. This fear is one that I still, and have always lived by.  The relationship with that feeling, however, is different now. I recently met a stranger in a park and we chatted idly about adolescence. I grew up ashamed and insecure for the most part, constantly (if always unknowingly) fighting to just exist the way I just did. I'm so glad that it never occurred to me to change or adjust myself to make things 'easier'. I realize now what a gift and strength of character that was (and is) even though at the time I was incapable of seeing or understanding it in any way. The point of all this rambling is that if you had told me I would have done and seen the things I have at 25 I would never believed you. The reality of it is that I would be ecstatic as a 15 year old, to just know where I was going. I feel like at 25 I really need to keep that in perspective. I woke up one day as the person I had always wanted to be, living seemingly impossible adventures. At 25 I have to believe that this is still possible in terms of the future. I'm unemployed, a transplant in a new city I'm absolutely excited about, but petrified of. There is so much that I don't understand, that seems impossible. I need to remember and get back to the very basic human truth of this. That at 15 I felt like this, and at 25 I feel it again. I woke up once as the person I always wanted to be, with a very dreamy life. If I continue to live and work and BE the person I always have... I have to believe this will recure. I have to believe there's something reaalll big, just around the bend. Part if me feels it, I just have to believe, push, and let myself get there
