Dragonflies & Decay zine is a collection of delicate pattern-based illustrations, intricate hand lettering and bold supergraphics reflecting on rebirth, growth and finding new life after destruction. A glimmer of softness in the dark, delicate organic drawings of flowers, moths, butterflies and other insects float in and out of a of cool, hard-edged world of agony, barbed wire, chain link fences and sharp metal objects. Emotional landscapes of abandoned relationships, the pages of Dragonflies & Decay zine are adorned with a tormented environment of heavy decay and a soft, hopeful light shining through.

"This collection of delicate pattern-based illustrations with intricate hand lettering is the perfect melding of radical softness with snark. Reflections such as "hardcore inside" with a a plant on a windowsill indoors (get it?) or "I needed a hug but nobody was there for me" surrounded by balloons are both hilarious and beautiful. I can't help but love the dark humor adorned with black, purple and blue -- like satanic Sweet Tarts." -Quimby's, Chicago, IL
