Portraits of Place: Walking the Lake Superior Hiking Trail

This comic represents the third in my Portraits of Place series on humans and nature, in which I explore the in-between spaces, the places where cities spill over into the nature around them, and where nature spills right back into the cities, shaping and influencing them.

I illustrated this piece did for Split Rock Review’s 2018 Autumn issue, exploring humans in nature—expectations, unexpected weather, and finding beauty inside of that! Very much based on a real camping trip on the SHT, which ended up being fabulous despite—and perhaps even because of—all the rain.
