Less Than Secret - 2021
Just off the edge of reality, where we can’t be sure what is real and what isn’t, lie cryptids! Creatures of science fiction and myth, they range from the terrifying, like the Jersey Devil; to the mysterious, like the Mothman; to the downright bizarre, like the Fresno Nightcrawler.
Less Than Secret is a black-and-white comics anthology celebrating cryptids in all their forms! We have brought together some of the best up-and-coming artists to share their takes on these mysterious beings with seven stories that feature horror, comedy, and everything in-between!

What the Gnomes Know - 2023
Gnomes hold a mysterious position in folklore and modern pop culture. Some say they are tiny inventors trying to navigate a human-sized world, while others say they are bold adventurers exploring the realms of fantasy. But, unfortunately, we still don’t know much about them, and even what you think you know may not be true!
In What the Gnomes Know, we have assembled a team of talented cartoonists to reveal more about these elusive creatures and show you gnomes’ various sides. Be they post-apocalyptic scavengers, necromancers, or even detectives, these stories show there’s more to these little folk than you ever knew!
