fig & ishka

In February 2024, I started a one-year project called Fig and Ishka, illustrated stories about two friends who paddleboard, grow food, read, hike, and sit around the fire together. They are also trying to show up to the world’s current ecological and social crises without jumping ship to complacency, cynicism or despair. Illustrations are done with tea, ink, water and my dad’s old typewriter.

Illustrated stories are released every Friday for one year. You can browse all the weekly illustrations over on the Fig & Ishka Substack, and if you subscribe, every new post is sent directly to your email inbox.
