Book of Kings (I & II)
8 pages, 4.25" x 2.75", 2018
Two “magic book” folded zines that serve as an homage to Shah Tahmasp I’s elaborately illustrated manuscript of the Shanameh, or the Persian Book of Kings. In particular, the two zines represent the concept of bazm u razm, or “feasting and fighting.”
“Book of Kings I” focuses on razm (conflict/fighting), and excerpts illustrations from Shah Tahmasp I’s Shanameh that depict exaggerated and excessive violence. “Book of Kings II” focuses on bazm(feasting/celebration), and excerpts illustrations from the same manuscript that depict feasts and other leisure activities.
Both zines unfold to reveal more information on the history of Shah Tahmasp I’s Shanameh.
30 Minutes in Richmond
8 pages, 9" x 6", 2018
True to the title, this comic follows two friends as they take a thirty minute stroll down Main Street in Richmond, VA. Read the full story here.
JOAN
26 pages, 9" x 6", 2017
“JOAN” is an expanded edition of a comic collection I created for my undergraduate thesis. This series of comics depicts a cartoon version of Joan of Arc loosely inspired by George Bernard Shaw’s play “Saint Joan.” The comics included in this volume were produced between 2009 and 2013, and the book contains additional illustrations from 2009, 2013, and 2014.
Pre-Boarding
12 pages, approx. 8.5" x 5.5", 2017
A record of the observations and unexpected encounters that occur while waiting to board a plane at Ronald Reagan National Airport.
My Friend Once Told Me...
8 pages, 5" x 5.", 2017
A zine based on a text conversation with a friend. This zine relies on found and created digital images paired with text, and takes advantage of the pacing possibilities of the book form. The front and back covers show screenshots from the 1933 film “Ecstasy” starring Hedy Lamarr, which is possibly the first non-pornographic movie that depicts the female orgasm.
