My work sample contains 10 samples of Literary Work, split into two parts.
5 pages are from a comics project I completed in 2022, and 5 pages are from the project for which I am requesting funding to create in 2025.

A five page excerpt from 'LORA’, which is a psychedelic, coming of age graphic novel about two antisocial best friends, Lora and Sara, who are navigating what it means to grow up in a world full of monsters.
The project is 52 pages, full color, self published, as well as posted in full online in 2022. Funding for the project was made possible by the Albert P. Weisman Award.
LORA can be read in full on instagram or through the Webtoons link below:

A 5 page excerpt from the dark comedy project 'Self Imposed Time Out' which will be a 40 paged risograph comic, staple bound, and printed by Perfectly Acceptable Press. The comic will be primarily greyscale, with spot coloring of pink on each page once the inking is complete.
25% of the funding I am requesting would go towards living expenses through March of 2025 as I complete the work, and the remainder will go towards the cost to print 500 units of the comic in April of 2025. Promotion and touring of the project would primarily occur May - August of 2025 which will be funded by comics sales.
The comic will also be released in chunks online, similar to the promotion of the 'LORA' project above.
