Tsu and The Outliers is a graphic novel about a non-verbal boy who has trouble fitting in among peers in his remote rural town. When rumors of a woodland giant begin circulating among classmates, Tsu finds his quiet life exposed and his metaphysical connection to the giant revealed.  All art will be presented in sequential order with original brush-and-ink pages whenever possible. There will be a brief artist's talk on June 9 on the inspiration, themes, and challenges in creating the book.

Completion of artwork for Tsu and the Outliers was made possible by a 2016 Minnesota Arts Board grant.
