To Have A Body (The Ring Fit Adventure Fanzine), 2021

I picked up the Nintendo exercise game Ring Fit Adventure on a whim in February 2020, and was pleasantly surprised and how both effective it was and how much fun I was having with it. When the lockdowns hit just a month later, the game ended up being an important part of my life for a couple of months, as a part of my old routine that could continue as normal despite lock down, a chance to get me to sweat & exercise during my day, and a fun way to connect with friends as I shared the latest Ring Fit Lore Report.

That’s why I eventually decided to organize a fanzine, so the few other fans of the game could make some art and comics to celebrate the game. I organized the zine applications, laid out the book, designed the cover and the various graphic design elements, and made my own 3-page comic for the zine.

The fanzine was completed and released digitally in January 2021. Information and the download link for the fanzine can be found on the carrd link here.

How to Fall in Love (Crush: First Love, New Talent), 2019

I wrote and drew a 10-page comic titled ‘How to Fall in Love’ for the Stacked Deck Press anthology Crush: First Love, New Talent. The comic is an autobiography about my own experience with crushes and how it’s less the ‘instant crush’ that tends to appear in media and more of a series of experiences that gradually build up on one another.

The comic was completed in March 2019, but the anthology was not able to meet it’s Kickstarter funding goals.
