Herein you'll find my zine portfolio: all I've made so far, their title, a brief description, visuals, and where you can get a copy. They're handmade with reclaimed materials, or hand-drawn on my computer and digitally typeset. Enjoy!

They've been selected for inclusion in the State Library Victoria and National Library Of Australia catalog.

They're available to buy at Sticky Institute in Melbourne, Australia, G:Zines in Geelong, Australia, and online through Zine Gang Distro.

Acknowledgement Of Country

I acknowledge the folks whose lands I owe my existence to: the Koori people. The traditional owners, storytellers, and first peoples. This land's been tended and lived alongside for millennia with knowledge passed down through generations. What a legacy. May it prevail.
