New Zine (Land) Letter

Welllp the title says it all. In March I had the privilege of visiting New Zealand to see two beautiful couples get hitched and see their stunning country in and around all the celebrations. Between the sheer beauty of the place and the laughs and good times that were had with friends, the whole trip was surreal. I’m being slow to share the drawings I made while there and as I continue to daydream about it now, probably because it’s all still processing …. 

After NZ I went to a little known city called New York, ever heard of it? Growing up in the Boston area I was propaganda’d into thinking NYC was just cranky people and rats. Turns out it’s fricken sick! 🌆🌃

For the next little while I’ll be in my hometown seeing friends and having long overdue family time. 💖

Sending lots of love and spring blessings!
