My personal zines

indie anthologies

Page artist: For various indie projects, I participated as a page artist and a 2-page spread artist.

Merchandise artist: For various indie projects, I designed a cute sticker sheet, downloadable icons, and a coloring page.
For me, designing stickers, die-cut pins, and coloring pages for projects are my favorite.

Fanzine host, mod lead, merchandise artist: During 2023-2024, I created, organized, a group of 35+ writers and artists to celebrate our favorite South Park ship: K2 (Kenny and Kyle). The general theme was a school setting, and was an anthology with downloadable merchandise. It is a free-to-download fanzine!
