Adventures in touring! In 2025, I debuted 4 new mini-comics during The Millions of Minis Zine Tour. In 2024, on The Less is More Tour, I self-published my graphic novel, Chrysanthemum Under the Waves. In 2023, on My Mostly Midwest Zine Tour, I emerged from a 5 year hiatus as a self-publisher with 5 new zines.
