My comic Greenhouse got nominated for an Ignatz Award for Outstanding Minicomic! It is such an honor to be nominated along with cartoonists I’ve admired for YEARS… If you’re wondering where you can read it the comic, I sell the risograph-printed version in my new store: https://www.pommopress.com/product/greenhouse

A digital version is also available to download here: https://gumroad.com/l/greenhouse

A few years ago I made a set of garden prints in order to raise money for good causes, and was able to donate more than $500 to the ACLU. I want to bring this back as an ongoing series called Drawings for a Good Cause. Every six months or so I’ll release a new set of themed mini prints with 100% of the proceeds going toward a charity or nonprofit group that needs our help in the moment. Today I’m releasing the first set, called The Flora and Fauna of the Mojave Desert: http://www.pommopress.com/product/drawingsforagoodcause

100% of the proceeds from this item will go to The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, a nonprofit which advocates for the rights and best interests of unaccompanied immigrant children arriving in the United States. The Young Center was founded in 2004 and since then the majority of their work has been to help immigrant children who arrive in the US alone. This Spring, the thousands of children forcibly separated from their families at the border due to Trump administration policies has overloaded the agencies in place to receive them. The Young Center is currently working to assign Child Advocates to separated children in custody across the country, to fight on their behalf and reunite families.

Please help me make a small difference in the best way that I know how. If these prints aren’t for you, I encourage you to donate directly to The Young Center or one of the many other advocacy groups working to help the unaccompanied immigrant children who are currently detained in US custody. Thanks. 🙂

My comic Greenhouse is live on Kickstarter! 

“In Greenhouse, a nameless girl struggling with her mental health develops a quiet obsession with botany. As her obsession grows, she’s plagued by inexplicable dreams, and her reality begins to unravel in alarming ways…”

Please consider backing this project (even just $1!) to help me fund the printing costs of this book! Or if you can’t back it, reblogging this post or sharing the Kickstarter with your friends would be super helpful to me too! I’ve been working on this comic, on and off, for almost 3 years so I’m so excited to finally be able to share it with you :) 

Thanks for your help! <333
