Collaborative Projects
I Love Bad Movies (published 2009-2014)
I Love Bad Movies is a collaborative zine (self-published magazine) I created in 2009. Published every 6-8 months between 2009 and 2014 (presently on hiatus), ILBM included essays, illustrations, and comics about interesting great-bad films. There are 5 issues of the publication--each focused on a different theme, with contributions from several dozen writers and artists. In addition to the printed zine, ILBM Co-Editor Matt Carman and I have hosted and produced various movie screenings, occasionally featuring presentations on motifs like Burly Babysitters, Canadian romance series Shades of Love, Bratz doll history, and more.
More information about the project is available at ilovebadmovies.com

Bonnie & Maude Film Podcast (2012-2015)
Bonnie & Maude is a film podcast I co-hosted alongside Eleanor Kagan. Each episode takes on a new movie or television show, with a focus on gender presentation. Topics ranged from classic rom-coms like When Harry Met Sally to underground B-movies like Hard Ticket To Hawaii. In addition to recording the podcast, Eleanor and I hosted film screenings and movie themed live events throughout New York at venues like Public Assembly, Videology, and The Bell House.
Episodes are available on iTunes and at bonnieandmaude.com

Following a live phone call with Catherine Coulson (the Log Lady herself), I gave some tips for dressing up as various Twin Peaks characters, including the important DOs and DON'Ts of a good Log Lady costume.

Zines
The Skye is Falling
The Skye is Falling #1 was my first zine. Published in 2004, it was collection of poems, essays, collages and drawings by me and several friends. The theme was 'love.' Issue #2 of The Skye is Falling was a solo project and was made after my first year of living in New York -- the essays in it covered everything from tips on finding an apartment in the city to a full listing of everyone I had ever met via the internet as of 2005.
Oh My / Oh No
A 2006 collection of the best and worst e-mails I have received via several (legitimate) W4M Craigslist ads. The original ads are also included in full, in the center of the publication. The zine is divided into two parts - the best
e-mails are on one side (Oh My). The flip-side contains the worst (Oh No).
Fuck You: Pictures from the Heart
A full color zine of poems and sketches created during an intense long-term relationship I had in 2006-2007.
The title is meant to be read as an outcry of simultaneous affection and outrage.
Winona Ryder / Winona Rydehair
Illustrations of various Winona Ryder hairstyles + quotes from the related films.
A special edition was presented as a gift to around 500 audience members attending the 2018 Winona Ryder secret movie marathon screenings across the country at Austin, San Francisco, and Brooklyn Alamo Drafthouse locations.
