Background & Purpose:
Trouble unfolds as a journey through a web of dark, fictional stories, each paired with original illustrations and evocative imagery. Together, they create an immersive exploration of fear, horror, and the unknown. The content is trapped within a 2.75in by 4.25in zine, designed to be a quick handout for students and friends to introduce them to my artwork and storytelling. The printed zine also links to my Instagram page where I post horror-themed surrealist photos. You can find these photos on my website here.
