Hi! I've had an extremely surreal year and am quietly getting back on the creative horse—but with the clear knowledge that the throughline of my multidisciplinary creative practice always has been, and always will be, connection. For the people who keep insisting surely I will change my mind and want to write another book: my certainty has not wavered for a moment, and grows stronger every day. But I do admire your stubborn conviction.
I will say: I am quietly working on something very large. It has to do with libraries. Don't worry, you will hear about it when the time is right.
Feeding Ghosts is out in the world living its own life, and I'm out living mine. You can buy it HERE. And here are pieces on it in The New York Times, The Stranger, SF Chronicle, LA Review of Books, Boston Globe, and The Associated Press.
I work in many different genres—often simultaneously—so if you want to get a sense of what I do, I recommend starting with THIS multidisciplinary solo show at the Santa Cruz MAH, THIS essay about becoming "The Girl Who Bikes to Weddings," THIS comic explaining how I fell (rode?) into a side career giving illustrated lectures on female adventurers in the early 1900s, THIS comics essay about my dead friend's favorite book, THIS comic about being constructively pissed off, THIS presentation using hair ties to explain the necessity of down time in the creative process, and THIS article about how I accidentally ended up a viral comics journalist.
I'm vaguely considering starting a Substack so currently have a ghost one you can sign up for if I do go that route, and you can follow me on Instagram (though I've become something of a conscientious objector about social media, so am not on it at the moment).
