There's no known cure in this world plagued by a disease that causes someone with unrequited feelings to cough up flower petals and thorns.  But there's some that have discovered how to live with it, albeit by less than ethical experimentation and practices. Nicolae's flower shop and cafe, Gilded Arrangements, it known for having beautifully ethereal and sometimes seemingly impossible blooms for sale at high prices... little does anyone outside of the store know, those blossoms are grown in blood.

Gilded Arrangements is a story I'm currently working on turning into a full graphic novel, but in the meanwhile, this companion zine will contain bonus content for anyone looking for more information after reading my side story comics in the same universe. It features the first comic my fiance Shazzbaa and I created together, as well as a bonus 8-page "daydreaming-about-my-attractive-boss" side comic, as well as both behind the scenes art and bonus information of all the employees of Gilded Arrangements.

2 mini comics totally 18 pages and 21 pages of around 40 pieces of art, including 2 pages of world building and 5 character profiles. This piece will probably be updated over time to include any additional sketches and art I make for this story that doesn't have a home elsewhere.
