Fear in the Age of Knowledge was a series of surrealist ink and watercolor illustrations I made between October 2018 and March 2019. It started as a response to the year’s Inktober prompts and evolved into an exploration of what it means to be afraid in an era of science, technology, and media.
Reposting pages of The Big Crunch, a webcomic I made during the 2010’s. This one is originally from October 21st, 2011.

The T-shirt tag that I forgot to cut out. The nice wool sweater I bought that feels like burlap. The jeans that hug my calves a little too tight.
The scrape of silverware in the sink. The hand full of sludge as I open the drain. The clank of dishes as I line them up in the washer.
The alarm in the boiler room of the complex, skimming the surface of audibility through the bedroom wall.
Smacking lips. Dry mouths. The unexpected brush of a loved one’s fingers (I’m sorry).
But hey, there’s also music. So it’s not so bad.
