This comic was my first time experimenting with Risograph Printing and Zines, and needless to say, I LOVE both!!!

​

I recently had the incredible opportunity to go to Annecy Festival 2026! While I was there, I ended up printing out a bunch of non-Risograph copies of my zine to give out to people. I know, with Annecy being an animation festival, people are already incredibly excited about art, but the excitement from my peers, mentors, and new friends every time I handed them a zine was one of the greatest treats I have ever experienced! :D

I love the animator community so dearly and seeing the smiles and joy my art brought to every person I gave a copy to filled my heart near to bursting!

I made Riley & Damian on a whim in the middle of the night- their conversation paralleling my thoughts as time ticked by- residue of my Existentialism class earlier in the day. As I drew and as I wrote, I grew really fond of the pair and I want to continue developing them and their ever-expanding universe. :D​
