My Comics Featured in American Illustration 43

I just received the new American Illustration 43 annual book. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an extravagantly designed book in the U.S., full of "printing special effects." The book is designed by Paul Buckley, with Brianna Harden.

On top of that, the book features two pages of my A.C. 2020 comics. I originally created this series to express the anxiety and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over time, within the same series, I also began to address my other anxieties and visual observations.

Each visual essay consists of self-contained single-page stories created in greyish-blue tones to reflect the subject.

New A.C.2020

I would like to share with you a new page from my visual essay series, A.C.2020. I originally created this series to express the anxiety and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over time, within the same series, I also began to address my other anxieties and visual observations.

Each visual essay consists of self-contained single-page stories created in greyish-blue tones to reflect the subject.
