melbourne's indie comics, zine and self-pub community is vast and glorious, and i'm stoked to be a part of it. i've been putting my own work out into the world for the last five years, and there's a good chance you'll run into me at festival of the photocopier or the homecooked comics fest! i also have an extreme fondness of risograph printing- photocopy technology that has made its way from town hall offices in the 1970s to comics and art studios across the globe; here's a selection of my favourite bits and pieces.

this was a four-colour print (black, yellow, orange, red); working in a limited palette can be a challenge, but this was really fun to make.
