Train Sketchbook

The Decisions

Here's the four page comic interview I did for the Summer issue of Symbolia Magazine: Heroines. Thanks Joyce and Erin for the patient editing. You can order a copy (or better yet, subscribe) here. This is an excerpt of a longer story to be published in the veteran comic book next year.
