"Mostly I write poetry, but the zine world has pushed me more and more past my creative boundaries, so I've found creative ways to make more forms of art, like the covers for my fancier zines, as well as sewing and embroidery, and making my own patches!"

"I see my zines as fun, scary stories to entertain people with and provide them a temporary escape from the real world (and its much more terrifying horrors). My first and largest goal as a writer is to be able to make a living writing comics and graphic novels. I’ve loved the medium since I was a kid, and I love the collaborative nature of the art form. I see zines as the ultimate creative playground, where we have complete freedom to make whatever we want without worrying about appeasing executives or shareholders or any other corporate, capitalist entity."

"What started off as a cape stone project when I was attending university, has now become a very meaningful on going project for me. While working and perfecting (to the best of my ability) the last few years on my zine - that focuses on what it means to be a Chicano/a (a person of Mexican descent born and raised in the United States) it was enlightening to learn about the ways in which Chicano culture embodies the in-between nature of culture hybridity."

"For so long I have internalized society's pressure for conformity and the strive for uniform perfection.
