Here’s a little comic I did about some of the stupid teenager stuff I used to do growing up in the suburbs.
Wow, this comic from YEARS ago is making the rounds again, so just wanted to give an update!
Steve and I are still great friends, I was a groomsmaid at his wedding in 2019.
I still have some of our best signs.

The tiny Elk Street in Lower Manhattan behind City Hall was so named because the Elks organization was founded there in 1867. The Street runs only two block from Chambers to Duane. The Duane Street end of Elk Street houses the African Burial Ground National Monument, a site that contains the remains off over 400 Africans buried here in the 17th and 18th centuries

Lispenard Street in Tribeca on a cloudy day. The street in named for Leonard Lispenard who owned a 70 acre meadow and farm in this area when there was a swamp located here that was called a “quagmire”, it was full of briers and bushes. In the late 1700s Lispenard’s meadows were used for cow grazing and were prized for its “rich grass.”

After a bit of time off, I’m happy to report that Signs of Japan is being published into a limited-edition zine.
This project, which spanned 3 years, was a real fun series to shoot, and a great excuse to walk all over Tokyo discovering new neighborhoods.
The zine will feature a collection of dozens of photographs of Japanese street signs taken from 2014-2017. It’s a first edition of never-before published photographs—color prints on high-quality paper.
You can now place your pre-orders on my website for $15. The price will go up in a few weeks, so place your order sooner than later to get a little discount.
I’m really happy to bring this project to life, and I’m thankful for the support I was shown here on Tumblr when it all began.
