When Annelise, an English major and aspiring novelist, starts daydreaming about her characters and catching glimpses of them around the city, she thinks she’s lost it—and then her characters show up at her door. With a deadline looming at the end of break, Annelise must ask herself: what do they want from her, and what will this mean for her unfinished novel?
The Moth's Flame is a hybrid graphic novel project that takes an experimental approach to the blending of both novel and comics formats.

Geyser is a story of tragic romance and loss in a human colony on an alien planet. Lots of cacti, a cute dog, and a soft, surreal color palette packed into a short, bittersweet comic.
The line work for this comic was created traditionally using India ink on 9" x 12" paper and was then scanned in and colored digitally in Procreate and Photoshop.
Published in the Spring 2021 edition of The Oakland Arts Review.
For longer comics and stories I pull inspiration largely from Brian Selznick’s The Marvels and The Invention of Hugo Cabret. A growing interest in graphic novels and storytelling that bloomed at the beginning of college led to the creation of this piece, “Night Owls,” which is my first experimental attempt to blur the lines between the traditional novel and graphic novel forms.
