Scarfff is a comics anthology printed in tabloid format and based in Seattle. As a co-founder, Editor-in-Chief, and contributor, I have been involved in various aspects of the project, including prepping each issue for print, project management, art direction, event planning, advancement, social media, and marketing, designing and producing risograph art prints, stickers, banners... etc., as well as the Scarfff website. Since its launch in January 2020, Scarfff has released new issues quarterly, growing from a venue to showcase the work of myself and five like-minded cartoonist friends to something much larger. Each issue now features comics and illustrations from over twenty artists. In 2022, we were fortunate to receive fiscal sponsorship from Shunpike, along with two grants totaling $5,000, one from ArtsWA and the other from the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture. With the support of over one hundred Patreon subscribers, Scarfff continues to thrive. Our publication is distributed to twenty stores and distributors across the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Scarfff Risograph Prints: A limited run of art prints is produced to accompany each issue of Scarfff. I prep most of the art for printing, and time production with the printers to ensure that the print is ready on time for the upcoming issue of Scarfff. For the prints pictured, I created all of the art.
