Featured Work

The Key

2024
Two illustrated men standing with backs facing each other, one with dark medium-length hair and a goatee, the other clean-shaven and with short blond hair, under the book title "The Key" and subtitle, "What if first love got a second chance?"

Two high-school sweethearts - one cisgender, one transgender, both men - meet again as adults and get a second chance at love, but one of them doesn't know they've been in love before.
