Comic page. The young boy follows the sound to a kitchen. He looks back at the old man before making his way towards the sound. In the kitchen is a woman he’s never seen reading a newspaper. When he comes in the room she puts the paper down and glares

I submitted my pitch for The Phantom to #kcupitchfest this year!!!! If you’ve known me for a while you’ve definitely heard me talk about this comic for years at this point so I’m super excited to put my pitch out there for more people to see! @kidscomicsunite.bsky.social

I just submitted Taggin' Quest to #kcupitchfest! This is my love letter to adventure stories, underdog tales, graffiti, video games, cartoons, & manga. Think Last Airbender meets Jet Set Radio w/ a dash of Adventure Time.

Shoutout to @kidscomicsunite.bsky.social and good luck to all who submitted!

Was It Worth It? My Pitchfest Experience. What happens when your pitch doesn’t win… but still kinda does? A tale of near-disaster, hidden wins, soggy cereal, and surprise hope. Here's what went down at Pitchfest 2025.

I did a lil' writeup of my @kidscomicsunite.bsky.social Pitchfest 2025 experience. It was a whirlwind and all-around awesome experience. Shoutout to the KCU team for doing a bang-up job!

BEHOLD! My #graphicnovel pitch for #kcupitchfest! A lot of love went into this & I hope it shows. I’m more proud of these pages than anything I’ve ever drawn. 🥲

This is my love letter to JRPGs, graffiti, & the magic of youth. Enjoy!

Two comic pages depicting a girl approaching a glowing pool. The face of a faerie arises out of it, asking what her business is. The girl comes out of hiding and explains that she wants to enter the Land of the Fae to seek the Silver Door, and the faerie asks what she could possible want with that power.

A continuation of the previous comic pages. The girl explains that she’s been given a cloak by Death, who called it the “mothwing cloak.” The faerie explains that the toll for entry is her name, and the girl agrees, whispering her name to the faerie. The faerie then beckons the girl further into the water. The girl asks if the faerie will help her find the Silver Door, but the faerie responds that the girl is on her own. A swirling vortex opens in the glowing water, sucking the girl into its depths in a myriad of colors.
