From Zine to Comic
Originally, Four Eyes was a series of zines released between 2016 and 2017. They were written and distributed all across the San Francsico Bay Area, in a deep connection with independent book stores who supported zines, and eventually became a webcomic.

Contemporary Art
While each panel was made to illustrate the story, each panel is an individual painting work that exists on it’s own.
Tam in The Forest
Tam, named after the Celtic Tam Lin, a fairy story, saves Polly, named after Polyphemus in Greek Mythology, at another point in the story, in a cityscape they discover the entrance to another world.
The Island
Polly and Tam travel to the Cyclops Island to meet her parents, who Tam really wants to make good impression on. Since there is racism against humans on Cyclops Island, they disguise Tam to appear as a cyclops, mirroring a tale of Oddyseus, where the hero tells a Cyclops they are no one. In this way, humility allows Tam to tap into their hidden power.
