The first book, Phobia, focuses on the main purpose to engage and entertain my reader through creating a visually stimulating dictionary of niche and unusual phobias. Although amusing, I also hope to inform and educate the target on what a phobia is, how it is different from fear, and fascinate them with intriguing and uncommon phobias which may seem mind blowing to the average person. On the off chance, this fun little dictionary may also aid someone in discovering more about their own fears and weaknesses.

In the second book, An Anthology of Irrational Fears, I wanted to revisit the topic of phobia, but instead of creating a dictionary of niche phobias, I want to dive deeper and be more personal. This book starts with content on phobia itself as a mental illness which will include: the categories of phobia, diagnosis and treatment methodologies. The second section features a collection of stories and experiences from differing phobia victims, kind of like a diary. Rather than focusing on uncomfortable imagery and simple definitions, I use hand drawn illustrations and hand lettering to create a more personal and comforting publication style. The book focuses on simplicity as keeping the layout and design simple will provide more emphasis on the illustrations and stories which sets the mood for this publication.
