Beginning as a visual blog in late 2009, Post Conatus (The Life and Times of Alex Hahn) Volume One collects the stories between January and June 2010. Told through a seres of episodic strips 'The Book and the American Dream' chronicles the lows -and slightly less-low lows- of a major project going badly, trying to bolster the balls to ask-out the girl of your dreams, cooking sausages and more! Independently published on July 4th 2011 (see what he did there...) under his Unrequited Books Imprint, each copy of this autobiographical tome is hand bound by the artist.
