I’m at work on some new comic things for 2020, and thought I’d share a page that might grow into several pages! Richard McGuire’s Here is one of my all-time fav comics, and I’ve always imagined doing my own version that’s set in the washroom of a gay bar (if those walls could talk!). here’s the first instalment!
new posters & CCOL residency
been a busy little while over here! i had the pleasure of creating some new event flyers over the past several weeks, ranging from a sexy dungeon party in NYC, to a fundraiser rave, to a library reading!
i’ve also had the pleasure of being the creator-in-residence at the Canada Comics Open Library for January. I’ve written up a couple blog posts you can check out on their website. big thanks to Rotem, Jordan, and the library crew for having me on board!

i was brought on recently by the Art Gallery of Ontario to create four large banners for their All Hours event last weekend! the banners framed Walker Court, which was filled with 70s and 80s arcade consoles. thanks so much to Sarah Febbraro !

new comic in The Believer
i have a new 9-page comic in The Believer's 2019 Music Issue, exploring my love of Cher's ABBA covers album, and the resurgence of ABBA's music in moments of political and cultural turmoil. big thanks to my editor Kristen for being supportive of the idea! the mag is making its way into bookstores and the comic will make its way online at some point soon!

podcast appearances!
get ready for a double dose of my dorky canadian accent, folks!
two recent podcast interviews have gone up this week, one with OK Fox and Lucia Love of Art & Labor during my recent visit to New York City, where we chatted about TCAF, the Queers & Comics Conference, the #FreeBritney movement, and gentrification in our respective cities. you can check that out here!
the other interview was from a couple months with Inkstuds, where we talked about my artistic influences, coming of age in Toronto, the Hungry Bottom Comics series, and some of my recent projects. you can check that out here.
thanks to these peeps for having me on their shows! and don’t you get too used to the sound of my voice, it’s kind of a fluke that these both came out this week! hah
