MAY 2026: Color Book, Lovebugs, and the World's Smallest Animation

Hello again.

First, an apology for disappearing. My summer vacation accidentally stretched into a full year. Part of the reason is that I’m a painfully slow, self-aware writer, and this newsletter somehow became more about explaining my work than making it.

In the past year offline I made a 44-page comic, built a darkroom in my bathroom, experimented with zines, animation, music and a dozen other things.

I’ve been trying to figure out where I want to go next as an artist. The answer, at least for now, is pretty simple.

I do my best work when I’m making one little thing each day and following my curiosity wherever it leads.

So I’m returning to Paper Films with a different approach. Instead of weekly essays, I’ll be sharing a monthly film assembled from fragments of my studio practice and everyday life.

I’m excited to be back. Thanks for sticking around. See you in June!
