Algeria: Notes on an Unfamiliar Place

I just finished a zine featuring my father's travelogues about Algeria. He and my mother moved there about a year ago to join the foreign service and work at the US embassy in Algiers. The text in the zine is written by him and edited by yours truly. I also did the illustrations and compiled the whole thing. It was a big hit at last weekend's Portland Zine Symposium. This zine (and others) are now available on my Etsy page.

New Zine: Paint Our Town

For the past few months I have been working on a zine about the process of creating a public art mural in Portland. It is very complicated and this zine was commissioned to explain the process in an easily understandable (and attractive) fashion. I finally finished it last week! Here are some pictures. We are distributing these for free, so let me know if you would like one.

Bench Observation Project

Recently I was struck by the random existence of a concrete bench at the intersection of NE 3rd Avenue and NE Weidler Street. The bench, situated across the street from a 7-11 convenience store, has no obvious purpose (not being associated with a bus stop and not bearing any sort of advertising). I have decided to spend some sort of time on this bench every day and record my observations.

Stay tuned for updates.

Handmade Books

I have been experimenting with making books. The first of my experiments has been serving as my personal notebook and has held up quite well. This is my second attempt, which turned out even better than the first.





It's for sale on my Etsy page.

Coming soon: a zine about Algeria!
