“Mourning Doves Are People, Too” debuts at MICE!
Because of MICE* I am still creating my comics! Last year just before MICE announced that The Pigeons of Los Angeles received a Mini-Grant I was about to give up my comic pursuit altogether. This year I created my second comic, Mourning Doves Are People, Too, but was wondering if anyone would be interested. So I was beyond happy when it received a Mini-Grant this year! It was great to attend MICE and see so many people’s love for comics, which saved me!

I had the honor of attending TCAF 2022 as a vendor! TCAF - The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is an internationally acclaimed comic book festival held annually in Toronto, Canada. Located at the Toronto Public Library’s Reference Library, TCAF 2022 spotlighted hundreds of creators, publishers, and comics organizations from around the world. It celebrated its 20th anniversary with a return to in-person events!
I appreciated all of the pigeon friends who stopped by!
